I thought about it for a long time yesterday and secretly set my target for today, which is the anchor who died at the same time as Tang Qingfeng.
Since I just came back from Zhongwei City and solved a relatively similar case, I was very curious about the death of the anchor. I even began to doubt whether the case here was inextricably linked to the case in Zhongwei City, or whether the Taoist priest named Lin Yi was the person related to this case
I am beginning to regret why I didn't keep Lin Yi's contact information at that time. If I could contact him now, as long as I called him here, I would naturally have a way to prove whether he was related to this case.
After I told him about my suspicions about the anchor, Bai Qi, who was originally very tired, became energetic again and immediately said, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that? In this case, you should find out the clues here as soon as possible. You must find out whether this anchor is related to the gangsters within one day today. You must know that we don't have much time."
I nodded gently and said, "Don't worry, one day is enough for me to complete the task in excess!"
Bai Qi did not ask any more questions, probably because he did not want to waste our time, so he stood up and took us upstairs. When we came to the door of a room deep in the corridor, he gently opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, I felt a cool breeze blowing on my face. I guess this was the cooling work they did to protect Tang Qingfeng's body. After Bai Qi opened the door completely, I saw at a glance that in the middle of the empty room, there was a simple bed covered with a white sheet.
Bai Qi stood at the door for a long time without any response, which made us afraid to go in easily. After about ten seconds, Bai Qi sighed, his eyes slightly red, and said: "I won't go in, you guys go in."
Seeing Bai Qi's sad look, all of us were infected by his emotions. We nodded slightly, and I took the lead and walked in and came to Tang Qingfeng's body.
Until now I feel that everything I have experienced is not real. Not long ago, I talked with Tang Qingfeng about many things, which made me have a good impression of this uncle who suddenly appeared. Who knew that when we met again, we were already separated by Yin and Yang.
I knew now was not the time to talk about this, so I took a deep breath to keep myself mentally balanced, then reached out and slowly lifted the sheet covering Tang Qingfeng.
I slowly lifted the sheet, revealing Tang Qingfeng's body. At this time, Tang Qingfeng's body was dressed in a neat police uniform. He was already very handsome, and after putting on the police uniform, even though he was dead, he could still exude a heroic spirit. However, there were many hideous wounds on his calm face. In some places, you could even faintly see the bones inside the wounds. Although I don't know what he had experienced in his life, the body of Tang Qingfeng in front of me still made me feel a little sympathy and anger.
You can't tell anything just by looking at it this way, and I didn't expect that they had dealt with Tang Qingfeng's body and changed his clothes so quickly. In other words, many clues can only be found from previous photos of the body. At present, nothing can be seen at all.
"Brother Long, can you tell anything from this wound?" I stared at the wound on Tang Qingfeng's face and asked Bai Longfei behind me without turning my head.
Bai Longfei understood what I wanted to say. He stepped forward and looked at Tang Qingfeng's face carefully. He wanted to reach out to untie Tang Qingfeng's clothes to see if there were any other wounds on his body, but his hand stopped in mid-air. It seemed that he didn't want to desecrate Tang Qingfeng's body.
"Judging from the wounds, these wounds should have been caused by the murderer's bare hands, and there should be two murderers, or even more!"
When I heard Bai Longfei's words, I immediately turned to look at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I won't talk about other parts, just the wounds on his face. If Tang Qingfeng and my former instructor were brothers, then his fighting skills should be the same as mine. Our defensive postures for head-on attacks must be the same, so the main parts we need to protect will be relatively less injured. But look at these wounds, the severity is basically the same, and Tang Qingfeng also has a lot of wounds on the back of his head. It is obvious that Tang Qingfeng was fighting someone head-on and was attacked from behind and was caught off guard. So it's not that Tang Qingfeng couldn't beat them. The real reason for his defeat was this fatal sneak attack."
If someone else had said this to me, I would have doubted it, but since Bai Longfei had said it himself, I would have believed it 100%. I sighed slightly, turned around and bowed solemnly three times to Tang Qingfeng's body, then said, "Don't worry, Uncle Tang, I will definitely do everything you haven't done, and I will definitely catch your murderer and avenge you!"
After we saluted Tang Qingfeng's body, I covered Tang Qingfeng with the white bed sheet again, and then led everyone out of the room. As soon as we went out, we saw Bai Qi standing at the door smoking. When Bai Qi saw us coming out, he took out a mobile phone and a document from his pocket and handed them to me, saying: "Everything you want is here. I will give you my car today. Remember what you said to Tang Qingfeng just now."
I nodded slightly, took the thing in Bai Qi's hand, turned around and walked outside, found Bai Qi's car in the parking lot, and had Bai Longfei drive us towards our first destination, the place where Tang Qingfeng died.
There was a video in the phone that Bai Qi handed me. It was a live video recording Tang Qingfeng and the anchor's corpse. I started to watch the video carefully while sitting in the car. The scene in the video seemed a bit desolate, and it looked like an open space in the woods.
The video was shot very clearly. There was a tree that looked very big right in front of the camera. Two leather belts were hung on the thick branches, and a person was hung on each belt.
The most eye-catching one among them was Tang Qingfeng. He was still wearing a handsome windbreaker, but the windbreaker was full of holes and bloodstains. There were still a lot of dried bloodstains under his feet, which were suspended in the air. His hair was disheveled and his face was covered with bloodstains, but his eyes were staring at the mobile phone in front of him. From his eyes, we can see how unwilling Tang Qingfeng was before his death.
The man hanging next to Tang Qingfeng seemed to have a much smaller presence. His body was a little thin and there was no blood on his body. It seemed that he was hanged to death. Unlike Tang Qingfeng, the expression on his face was very terrified, which was obviously the expression left when he struggled before death.
When I saw Tang Qingfeng's death with my own eyes, my heart still trembled violently, but I immediately calmed down my anger and watched this not very long video carefully to see if there was anything worthy of my attention.
I watched the entire video several times, and Lin Yingxue also watched it with me once or twice. She didn't understand anything at all, so she stopped watching it. As I watched the video over and over again, I finally discovered something strange in a certain frame!
Since Tang Qingfeng was wearing a windbreaker, his hands were basically retracted into his sleeves and could not be seen at all. But perhaps because of the wind in the morning, Tang Qingfeng and the anchor's body kept swaying left and right in the air. At the moment when the wind was the strongest, his sleeves were finally blown up a little. Although it was only a brief moment afterwards, I immediately paused the video and looked carefully at Tang Qingfeng's gesture, and found that his hand was making a 'three' gesture!
Seeing this gesture, I immediately became alert. Lin Yingxue, who was standing next to me, came over to take a look and asked, "What does this mean?"
"I don't know, but a person who was strangled would have his hands become hideous because of the struggle. It is absolutely impossible for him to make such a gesture. I think this is the last clue Uncle Tang left for us! It's a pity that the people who handled the body at the time didn't notice this and completely ignored Uncle Tang's clue."
As I explained, I was thinking rapidly in my mind what this gesture meant. Was he trying to tell us that there were three of us? Or was he trying to tell us that the gang was hiding in a place related to the number three
No matter which situation it is, this tip is very important. Thinking of this, I immediately said to Bai Longfei: "Brother Long, turn the car around and go to the anchor's house!"
Bai Longfei looked puzzled and asked, "What? You're not going to the crime scene?"
"No, I'm not going there. I'm going there just to find some clues Uncle Tang might have left for us. Now I've found them in the video. Let's go to the anchor's home first to see if there's anything there that can be connected to 'Three'."
Bai Longfei nodded, turned the car around and drove to the home address shown in the host's information in my hand.
The anchor's name is Zhou Bo. He is 25 years old and has a job as a civil servant. He usually earns some pocket money through live streaming. Although not many people watch his videos, he still insists on live streaming for a long time.
When we arrived at Zhou Bo's home, we saw funeral couplets pasted on his door and the sound of chanting could be faintly heard in the house. It seemed that their family was performing a ritual for Zhou Bo.
The person who opened the door for us was a very young woman. Her eyes were red and swollen, and it seemed that she had just cried. Upon asking, we found out that she was Zhou Bo's wife. After we revealed our identities, she invited us in and we came to a quiet room.
"My condolences. We have some questions for you now. I hope you can cooperate. After all, we also want to catch the murderer who killed Zhou Bo as soon as possible!"
Zhou Bo's wife burst into tears again after hearing this, but she was very strong and didn't cry out loud. She nodded and said, "You can ask."
"According to your understanding, has Zhou Bojin made any acquaintances with any strange people in the past month, especially foreigners? What was he doing on the day of the incident?"
The gang didn't know about our arrangement, they are also smart people. Since they are smart people, they will outsmart themselves. The gang of criminals would not easily hand over such important drawings to others, and would definitely take them away personally.
