Late at night, Lin Qiupu received a text message. After a glance, he immediately sat up. The text message from Lin Dongxue was like a bolt from the blue, "Brother, I'm pregnant!"
Lin Qiupu stared at the phone for a long time before replying: "How long has it been?"
"It's been a long time, I haven't dared to tell you, it seems that I can't keep it anymore."
"I am looking for you now!"
Lin Qiupu immediately put on his clothes and rushed to the house where Lin Dongxue was renting. Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi were talking and laughing while eating roasted corn, looking at him as if they were looking at a stranger.
Lin Qiupu didn't fight in a single place, and pointed to Chen Shi and said, "How can you be like this? You are not responsible at all. If something goes wrong, you still hide it from me! A scumbag!"
Chen Shi nibbled the roasted corn and said slowly: "She volunteered."
Lin Dongxue said: "Yes, I volunteered, regardless of your business."
Lin Qiupu was so angry that his chest kept rising and falling. Angrily grabbed a piece of roasted corn, and cried as he chewed. Then he woke up and found himself chewing on the pillow.
The dream was too real. Lin Qiupu was still emotional after waking up. He turned on the phone and flipped through the text messages Lin Dongxue had sent in the past six months: "I know", "Don't worry about it", "I understand", "I'm going back."
There was almost no one with more than five words, he sighed, no wonder he would have such a bizarre dream.
It was five o'clock in the morning on June 29th. Lin Qiupu had no sleepiness. He got up to take a shower and exercise. After it was over, it was exactly 5:58. He sat on the sofa and waited quietly until six o'clock to get up for breakfast. It was still milk cereal. .
After eating, the phone rang. The 110 alarm center called, saying that the remains of a child had been found on the mountain. Lin Qiupu said, "Tell me the address. I'll take someone there right away."
Three hours later, Lin Qiupu and several policemen came to a barren hill on the outskirts of the city. The caller was two young campers and a forest caretaker. The three of them had already waited anxiously. Seeing the police rushing to receive an amnesty, they ran down the mountain. To greet.
Lin Qiupu asked what was going on while going up the mountain. The forest ranger said, “The corpse was found by the young man. They saw a piece of cloth on the ground. They dug out a piece of cloth when they were curious. They didn’t expect to dig out a human bone. Then they found me. The police I called... Comrade police, let me tell you the situation. The two men seem to be gay. I was scared of staying with them for three hours."
Lin Qiupu gave him a blank look and ignored the last sentence.
A half-concealed remains appeared in a shallow dirt pit. Judging from the skull, it should be a child of about ten years old. The technical police immediately began to excavate. The police questioned them and let them go after they were sure there was nothing suspicious.
According to preliminary judgment, this skeleton died in about half a year, and it has been completely ossified. The roots of plants growing between the bones and the molting of insects have also been carefully preserved. This is an important basis for judging the time of death.
There was an open wound on the back of the corpse's head, which looked like a sharp weapon such as an axe.
Lin Qiupu said to them: "Don't stand here and search for other clues. In addition, contact the bureau to see if there are any missing children in the past six months."
The police searched around for a long time, only to find some rubbish left by climbers, a piece of rotten hemp rope, and a piece of children's clothing stained with blood, all of which were taken back as evidence for the time being.
After spending the whole morning in this wilderness, the police brought the complete skeletons and exhibits back at noon. Lin Qiupu decided to investigate the case by himself, retrieved the files of all the missing children in the bureau, and contacted the branch bureau again.
Peng Sijue’s autopsy results showed that the deceased was an 11-year-old boy who died about five to six months. His whole body had become bones. He could only drill a hole to take bone marrow for testing. It was accidentally found that the blood contained a large amount of blood. Carboxyhemoglobin, which accounts for more than 50%, is a typical death from carbon monoxide poisoning.
There is also a small discovery. There was a hyperplasia in the tibia of the deceased's right leg.
After reading this report, Lin Qiupu said: "How could it be carbon monoxide poisoning?"
Peng Sijue said: "I don't quite believe it, but that's the result of the appraisal."
"So say the wound on the back of the head..." Lin Qiupu pondered, "No, the most important thing at the moment is to determine the identity of the deceased. The nature of this case is harsh and the methods are cruel. The director has already said that it will be investigated."
"Call Chen Shi?"
"Ahem, I just said cruel, but I didn't say this case was difficult, so I'll find him if there is nothing wrong with it!"
"Could it be kidnapping?"
"Do you think so?"
"DNA was found on the hemp rope and children's clothes you brought back. It is now being compared. If it belongs to one person, it is likely to be kidnapped!"
"Come on, I'll go and have a look with you!"
Arriving to the technical squadron, an appraisal officer said: "Team Peng, two people's DNA was found on the rope."
"understood."
After waiting for nearly an hour, the result came out. A DNA on the rope belonged to the boy, and the DNA on the blood suit also belonged to him.
Lin Qiupu said: "The other DNA may be the murderer. See if there is a match in the database, I will look for the kidnapping case in that time period."
After making a round of phone calls, I found a qualified case from a certain branch. The kidnapped boy was named Hao Jie. It happened half a year ago. The kidnapper asked his parents for a huge sum of 10 million yuan. The parents were instructed by the police. Bargaining with the kidnappers, they agreed to pay a ransom of five million in a certain place on December 4. The kidnappers demanded that the ransom be placed in a trash bag, and the police closely controlled the surrounding area.
However, the kidnappers did not show up. They waited until the afternoon when a suspicious man took the ransom. The police did not find Hao Jie's trace all the way, so they arrested him. The other party was a homeless man who claimed to have found a large bag in the trash can. The money was taken away. I don't know what the ransom was. After investigation, this person did not have a criminal record. There was alibi at the time of the crime, so he had to be released.
Since then, Hao Jie has not heard from him, and the kidnappers have never called again. Hao Jie’s parents blamed the police for rashly killing their son and filed a lawsuit. Of course, the lawsuit has not yet been brought.
On the phone, the policeman said: "We are really unjust in this matter, and we have dealt with a lot of kidnapping cases, not to mention that we are safe, but at least we will not make the mistake of leaking the wind. We have been investigating his parents since the boy disappeared. I have been investigating the enemy for two months. In the end, I can only find helplessly that the kidnapper has torn the ticket. I and several other policemen involved have been punished, and now we have to go to court. What a wrongdoing!"
Lin Qiupu glanced at his watch. Although it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, the case was not considered to be really interesting until now. He said, "I want to meet you and visit the parents of the missing boy by the way."
"No, no, no, I have a big head on this case now, and I don't want to go on endlessly. If you want to supplement the investigation, I can send the materials over, but I don't want to participate anymore."
"Sorry, I didn't tell you the situation. We found the body of a boy on the mountain today. It is suspected that it was Hao Jie who disappeared half a year ago."
The other party was silent for a moment, and said: "What? Really tore the ticket? Then come on, I'll wait for you!"
