After searching high and low for something, it finally came to us. We were very excited when we found these two foreigners in the surveillance camera of Taibaiju Hotel today. I even fantasized afterwards whether we could bring these two foreigners to justice within today. After all, we now have their information, and if we search the whole city, we will most likely catch them soon. But who would have thought that when we did catch them today, what we caught were two cold corpses!
"Ji Wen, what's going on? Why are they dead too?"
Bai Longfei was the first to recover from the shock in front of him. He turned to ask me, and the police officer who led the way behind us was also frightened and hurriedly called his companions to come over. I turned around and asked him to inform Bai Qi by the way. Then I said to Bai Longfei: "I don't know either. This incident will not happen in this time period anyway. Why did they die?"
Bai Longfei knew that there was a mission these days, so he carried disposable gloves with him. He carefully stood in front of the two bodies and looked through them as I said while wearing the gloves. He asked, "Do you think it's possible that the news that we found the information of these two foreigners was leaked out, so they decided to kill them to silence them?"
I stared at the two dead foreigners and shook my head. "Impossible. Although the gangsters will know this news later today, I don't think they can know it so quickly. It seems that these two people have not been dead for long. They may even have died before we found their information. Could the leader of the gangsters have predicted that we would know about these two gangsters today? Or do they have spies in the police and know our every move from beginning to end?"
Lin Yingxue nodded and said, "I think it is very likely that one of our own betrayed us and leaked the news, so we asked them to kill them in advance to save their identities."
I sighed and said, "Actually there is another possibility, but this possibility is the one I least want to see."
"What?" Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue turned to ask me at the same time.
"Perhaps all of this was a trap set by the leader of that group of people. They deliberately exposed Zhou Bo's flaws so that we could find the information of the two foreigners through Zhou Bo's flaws, and then kill them to silence them. Although this seems a bit unnecessary, it is often the case that the more bizarre the situation is, the bigger the conspiracy is. Perhaps the death of the two foreigners was also part of the gangsters' escape plan."
After I finished speaking, I took a deep breath and my brain was spinning rapidly. "If this is really the case, then we have underestimated these criminals. Their methods have reached a new level."
A strong enemy appeared out of nowhere, and I didn't have much time to deal with him. I panicked again for a moment, replaying what had happened during this period over and over again in my mind, fearing that because of a mistake in some link, I would miss the best conditions to capture the criminals.
Seeing that I stopped talking, Bai Longfei and the others continued to examine the body. However, not long after, the group of police officers who were investigating inside the park also came over. The forensic doctor came forward to examine the body, while the others all had serious expressions and speculated about what was going on. This was because they had also received wanted warrants for the two foreigners from their respective leaders and naturally knew the identities of the two foreigners.
While I was thinking, Bai Longfei suddenly walked up to me and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Ji Wen, when I was examining the body just now, I found a lot of strange things."
"What's so weird?"
"Judging from the physical qualities of these two men, they should both be martial artists, and they should at least have the qualities of special forces. If they really fight, I think it will take some effort to defeat them. It seems that Tang Qingfeng was most likely defeated by these two men. But the strange thing is that these two men have no other external injuries except for the marks left by being strangled on the neck. Don't you think this is strange?"
I instantly understood what Bai Longfei meant. Bai Longfei wanted to say that if these two people were really martial artists, it would be impossible for them to die without any struggle, and they would definitely not die so easily. At least there would be signs of struggle or fight.
Assuming that the situation at that time was that someone pointed a gun at them and forced them to hang themselves, these two people would definitely not be so obedient. At least they would resist before dying. This kind of reaction without any struggle is definitely very abnormal!
Thinking of this, Bai Longfei and I immediately came to the two bodies again. This time I did not look at the bodies, but at the two ropes hanging the bodies. When Tang Qingfeng died, he was strangled by his own belt, and at this time, the two foreigners were hung on the tree with two very thick hemp ropes, and the hemp ropes had many extra rope ends. The two rope ends were entangled together, swaying in the wind at the other end of the branch.
Seeing this, I immediately turned to Bai Longfei and asked, "Brother Long, if it were you, holding two ropes in one hand, could you completely hang them from the tree while they were struggling violently?"
Bai Longfei looked at the rope carefully, then at the two bodies, and shook his head, "It's difficult. These two people are in good physical condition and tall, and their weight is naturally not to mention. In addition, the two of them are struggling at the same time, and the force they generate is quite large. I am not sure I can do this."
"That means that if even you are not sure you can do it, then the murderer who killed these two people definitely cannot do it? Unless the murderer is much stronger than you!"
After understanding this, I immediately became energized and asked Bai Longfei to lift me up to the top of the tree. Then I climbed along the branches to the place where the two dead bodies were hanged. I looked at the state of the ropes hanging on the branches. The two ropes and the tangled rope heads formed an isosceles triangle. It was obvious that the murderer did hang two people on the tree at the same time.
I took a closer look at the rope loops around the necks of the two dead men and found that the edges of the rope loops were stained with a large amount of dirt. The dirt had not even completely dried up and seemed to be fresh dirt from not long ago.
After seeing the mud, I immediately came down from the branch and looked at the feet of the two foreigners hanging in the air. Sure enough, the mud under their feet seemed to have been renovated!
"Brother Long! There's something inside!"
Bai Longfei had been investigating with me from beginning to end. Naturally, he noticed that I was staring at the soil on the ground. He asked a police officer next to him for a small shovel, and prepared to dig up the soil under the feet of the two dead bodies. However, as soon as Bai Longfei's small shovel touched the soil on the ground and applied a little force, the soil on the ground collapsed a little. It was obvious that there was a hollow underneath.
After discovering something wrong with the ground, Bai Longfei immediately smashed the small shovel into the ground with great force. The mud ground under the feet of the two dead men collapsed completely, revealing a deep pit with a diameter of about two meters!
The appearance of the deep pit attracted everyone's attention. We immediately gathered around and looked into the pit. We saw that the pit was about two meters deep and contained a large amount of soil and branches that had just fallen in it. It was obvious that this was a trap that someone had deliberately covered with branches and soil!
Seeing this trap, I suddenly understood. I looked up at the two dead people again and said to Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue, "I understand. These two people were not killed by threats. Instead, they fell into the trap set by the murderer and were strangled to death when they were caught off guard!"
Based on the on-site information I have at present, I can make a rough reconstruction of the case. The murderer found the two foreigners at a certain moment and asked them to meet in the woods. He had dug a trap under the branches of the big tree in advance and accurately calculated the final position of the two foreigners. After the two foreigners fell into the trap unexpectedly, he put the hemp rope that had been buried in the trap around the necks of the two foreigners. While they were struggling, he wrapped the other end of the rope around the branches above. Finally, he used a high-powered object like a car to pull the rope out, pulling the two foreigners out of the pit alive into the air until they were unable to struggle and died.
After hearing what I said, Bai Longfei immediately went to the other end of the rope and took a look from a distance. Sure enough, he found the marks of car tires on the ground, proving that what I said was absolutely correct!
After discovering the mark, Bai Longfei came back and said excitedly: "You can guess this? No wonder they chose to kill these two foreigners here, it turns out they had already set a trap! This murderer is so smart!"
I shook my head and said, "This murderer is indeed very smart, but the murderer chose this place to kill people not because they wanted to set a trap, and the murderer who killed these two foreigners was not from the clown group."
"If they were the ones who killed the two foreigners, they probably wouldn't have chosen this place. Firstly, a murder had happened here before, and it would be dangerous to do it again. Secondly, there's no need. If the Joker gang wanted to kill the two foreigners to silence them and protect their identities, I think they would have chosen a remote place to kill and hide the bodies. In this way, we wouldn't know that the two foreigners were dead, and we would have continued investigating, buying them more time. So, I think the third wave of people killed the two foreigners."
"The third wave of people? What do you mean?"
"Because I don't know the identity of this murderer, and I don't know whether he is an enemy or a friend, so I will call him the third wave of people for the time being. If I am not mistaken, the purpose of this third wave of people is to avenge Tang Qingfeng, so they killed the two foreigners at the place where Tang Qingfeng died! And this third wave of people has much more information about the Joker Group than we do!"
