The next morning.
During the morning rush hour, the streets were abnormally congested, and the buses stopped and went, as if they were about to explode. The aunt with a vegetable basket, the tired white-collar worker, and the students with their schoolbags and mobile phones swayed back and forth as the vehicle swayed. The haze mask covered Junxiu's nose bridge and jawline, her eyes drooped down, and she was silent.
"Hey, have you heard that next week, Silihe Middle School won't be doing self-study in the evening, and will go home from school every day at three o'clock in the afternoon..."
"Wow so cool!"
"It's said that there are ghosts crawling out of the river to kill people, and they are so rotten that only a pair of skeletons are left. I don't know if it is true?"
Wu Yu's expression moved slightly, and he glanced away from the corner of his eyes.
Several middle school students huddled by the car door and discussed enthusiastically, shouting mixed with envy, excitement and fear, a little boy with a schoolbag slung over his shoulders said, "I know, I know, it's all been swiped on Weibo, and I was killed. My wife is in the same middle school as my cousin..."
The news came out so soon
The female white-collar worker in front held her hands in front of her, devoted herself to brushing online comics, and chose to log in by email without hesitation when the pop-up window popped up. In the circle, exchange WeChat, Weibo, QQ various information, and register an account in full swing to solicit votes for the beloved idol; the car posted "Blockchain New Economy! Share advertising revenue, millions of annual salary set sail!" Beside the billboard , A middle-aged man was holding up his mobile phone, scanned the QR code suspiciously, and entered the ID card mobile phone number step by step as required.
The tentacles of the Internet are ubiquitous and endless, like countless prying eyes wrapped in the tide, gradually filling the deep sea, submerging every corner of human society to the top.
Everyone is swimming in this sea, and no one knows that there is a bottomless data trench hidden under their feet.
Wu Yu took a breath and closed his eyes.
Jingle! The bus horn blared.
"The Municipal Public Security Bureau is here, please take your belongings and get off in an orderly line..."
It was when the morning and evening shifts were handed over that people came and went in the Criminal Investigation Building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. As soon as the door of the large office opened, the smell of cigarette butts, tea, instant noodle soup wafted all over the corridor.
Standing outside the corridor, Wu Yu carefully finished his vegetarian buns, and threw the plastic bag away. Just as he was about to return to his seat, he suddenly heard a faint noise from the closed door of the reception room beside him: "… a Five people six in official skins, I'm so fucked up..."
"?"
Wu Yu had only seen the family members of the victims harassing the forensic department. He had never seen anyone who dared to scold at the door of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. As soon as he looked around, the door suddenly opened with a bang, and yelling and crying burst out.
"Don't talk to me about that useless! Ah, let me tell you! It's useless to talk to me here!" A shy man in his forties and fifties was full of alcohol, forcing Meng Zhao to withdraw from the reception room again and again. "My girl didn't come back from work, so you have to arrest her boss! Be responsible for losing money!!"
"Pingping, my miserable Pingping!..." A woman with disheveled hair knelt on the ground and screamed, and the two back-office girls beside her were so pale that they couldn't even help them.
Meng Zhao was a little embarrassed, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Mr. Nian Daxing, calm down a little, the police will not let any clues go, but we must also follow the procedures..."
- It turned out to be the parents of the victim Nian Xiaoping, Nian Daxing and Fan Ling.
The data only said that Nian Daxing was a migrant worker who helped people look at the warehouse.
"What clue? There's a fart clue! I've told you everything I know, that assembly plant owner is rich!" Drunk, Nian Daxing pointed at Meng Zhao's nose and spittle: "Rich people are not good things, Otherwise, why did you ask my girl to work overtime until 10:30 in the evening?! It's not overtime! Kill her and throw her outside, I know everything!!"
Meng Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "But the autopsy results show that the deceased's hymen is intact, and there are no signs of indecent assault on his body..."
"Don't talk to me about that! Isn't the autopsy written as you police want?! The officials are protecting the rich!"
The doors of several offices in the corridor were opened, and the on-duty office workers stuck their heads out. Even Wang Jiuling, who had come over from the technical team next door to get the materials, came looking for the sound, and looked here in amazement, and there were endless discussions.
Fan Ling was probably embarrassed. She finally stopped crying and staggered and got up from the ground, hugging Nian Daxing's legs and dragging her back: "What are you talking about! What a mess, Pingping, she's not that kind of girl!"
"Shut up for me!" Nian Daxing kicked her backwards, almost hitting Wu Yu.
Meng Zhao was furious: "What are you doing? Stop!"
Nian Daxing was probably used to beating his wife, but he didn't know how to restrain himself at the Public Security Bureau, but when Meng Zhao yelled at him, he became even more arrogant. I know how to cry! I can't help you at all, useless old ladies!"
Meng Zhao screamed: "Hurry up and stop him!"
-Snapped!
Nian Daxing only felt that his elbow was gripped by iron pincers, and his big fist could not fall any longer. He stared at him with red eyes and saw a handsome and thin young man half-kneeling over the crying Fan Ling. beside him, frowning at himself.
"Fuck your mother, the police dare to beat people?!"
Nian Daxing got drunk and pushed with all his strength—his weight was less than 200 kilograms, and his brute force was great after drinking. Wu Yu stumbled back several steps on the spot, and almost hit the wall with his exclamations!
Meng Zhao didn't see the neatness with which Wu Yu grabbed Nian Daxing's arm just now, only to see him fluttering and being pushed away, and immediately became anxious. Just run up. But Nian Daxing didn't care at all, and even pulled the hair of the back office girl who was going to support Fan Ling. The little girl almost had her clothes off her shoulders, and was pushed to the ground by him.
Director Wang rushed over here: "Fuck it, this is the other way around?!"
Meng Zhao rushed up to protect the little girl. Seeing that there were either women or office workers around, Wu Yu's sense of existence was almost zero, so he made a decisive decision: "Go and call Liao Gang! Quick!"
With a bang, Nian Daxing kicked Fan Ling to the ground, spit and scolded: "Get out of the way! I beat my wife, it's none of your business! Be careful when I give you—"
Before he finished speaking, his neck was restrained by an elbow from behind him, his face blushed and his neck thickly silenced.
Meng Zhao lost his voice: "Xiao Wu?"
With a cold expression on Wu Yu's face, he hooked his hand and slammed it, smashing Nian Daxing to the ground!
There was a loud bang, and the stone was shattered cleanly. Everyone was stunned, even Fan Ling opened her mouth and forgot to cry.
"You...you..." Nian Daxing was also stunned, and then jumped into a rage. He jumped up and grabbed Wu Yu's neckline and tried desperately: "I'm going to kill you!"
The daily dress code of the Public Security Bureau is only for the internal staff, and the field staff is basically dressed casually. Wu Yu wears those Taobao T-shirts with loose necklines and washed out for three hundred days out of three hundred and sixty-five days a year. With a tug on his shoulders, most of the light-ink tattoos were exposed, and fluttering birds flashed past.
Nian Daxing caught a glimpse of Yizhi, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Yu grabbed the hand holding the front of his shirt and twisted it mercilessly.
"Ah—" Before Nian Daxing's screams could be exported, Wu Yu flew up and kicked his chest, and his speed was called cracking rocks, and he kicked him out like lightning!
With a loud bang, Nian Daxing's heavy body rolled and fell to the ground, screaming like a pig!
All eyes were dead silent, no one dared to believe his eyes, and then Meng Zhao's head hummed loudly:
"Wu, Wu Yu! There is surveillance here!"
Fan Ling collapsed to the ground trembling: "Killing! The police have killed!"
"In the case of the Sili River, according to your instructions, the water police station has launched a search for the murder weapon and the murderer's escape route. However, the rainfall that day almost caused the Nancheng to be flooded. The Sili River goes straight to the Bohai Sea, and the flow rate is very fast. The water police station reflects the incident. It is very difficult to salvage the murder weapon nearby. In addition, there is no trace of the murderer climbing up and escaping on both sides of the downstream. Even if there are footprints, they should have been wiped out by the rainstorm...”
Liao Gang followed Bu Chonghua out of the elevator, and the report was suddenly interrupted by the noise coming from the front. The two raised their heads at the same time, and Bu Chonghua suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Even Fan Ling, who was crawling forward, was stunned, and Nian Daxing's howling stopped abruptly. Meng Zhao was pushing Wu Yu to let him go quickly, when he heard this, he jumped up: "Team, captain?"
Wu Yu's pupils suddenly tightened.
The scene immediately became stalemate, Bu Chonghua strode forward, and everyone subconsciously gave him a way: "What's going on?"
"He did it first!" Several of the police officers on duty responded quickly and rushed to talk: "The victim's family is arguing to arrest the owner of the assembly plant for compensation, and this man also wants to beat his wife..." "Smashed the reception room! He even hit Xiao Wu!" "That's right, he did it first!"
Nian Daxing has been staring at Wu Yu since just now, his face full of disbelief. If you look closely, you will find that there is a trace of fear. But at this time there was a lot of discussion around him, and he also reacted, holding his stomach and starting to roll on the ground: "The police are beating people! Is there still a law of heaven! Just bully us ordinary people, bully us without money or power. …”
Crying, shouting, and rolling around in a mess, Director Wang of the technical team, who stopped not far away to watch, finally couldn't bear it any longer: "What the hell is this family? Hurry up and find the police to pull him down?!"
The trace inspection next to him quickly grabbed him: "Director, calm down! Don't you often take the lead in personally attacking the infantry detachment?"
Director Wang said angrily: "My attack is my attack, so I can't attack outsiders!"
No matter what the facts are, the police made a deal with the victim's family at the gate of the detachment. First of all, they fell into a loss. How to deal with it depends on whether the leader is willing to protect it - Bu Chonghua frowned and looked at Wu Yu, the eyes of the two suddenly separated collide.
Wu Yu's face was slightly lowered, his posture seemed to be cramped and restrained as usual, but if he looked closely, he could see that his five fingers were trembling slightly by his side. The tip of his eyes slanted upwards, as if he was nervously looking at Bu Chonghua's reaction. From this angle, his brow bone was particularly deep, his chin was extremely tight, and the bridge of his nose and side cheeks showed a jade-like hardness.
Bu Chonghua was not familiar with his demeanor, but at this moment he was able to sense his emotions strangely - this man was spitting up his body with thorns.
He couldn't even hide his usually well-hidden hostility.
"How are you? How are you?" Fan Ling groped Nian Daxing at a loss, then slumped on the ground and adopted the most familiar and instinctive way of doing things - clapping her legs and crying: "My poor Ping Ping! What should I do now! My life is miserable!…”
Everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. Meng Zhao stood in front of Wu Yu and wanted to plead, but he opened his mouth several times but did not dare to say anything. Bu Chonghua calmly retracted his gaze and asked Nian Daxing, who was lying on the ground, "Can you still stand up?"
Nian Daxing immediately turned over and covered his stomach, screaming in pain.
"Okay." Bu Chonghua spit out a word coldly.
Then he turned his head and instructed Liao Gang in full view of the public: "—Pick quarrels and troubles at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, take him down, and stay in the isolation room to calm down."
Wu Yu was startled.
Meng Zhao was also surprised for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. Several policemen on duty rushed up without the leader's second order. Only Fan Ling panicked and weakly said, "What? What?!" She tried to stop the police, but this thin and shriveled woman couldn't stop the police. !""Walk!"
Unexpectedly, Nian Daxing did not dare to speak. He muttered something in his mouth. He frequently turned back to look at Wu Yu, his eyes were full of suspicion and fear that could not be concealed.
"Don't linger! Go!"
Nian Daxing shrank like a ghost, and was scolded sharply by several policemen, who stumbled and escorted him out.
"Bou team, look," Meng Zhao rubbed his hands together and smiled, "Xiao Wu didn't do it on purpose, he did it to stop Nian Daxing from domestic violence. Look at this..."
Bu Chonghua didn't answer, his face didn't show joy or anger, he squinted his eyes slightly to look at Wu Yu. The hearts of the people around were hanging, and it took him a long time to hear him ask, "You haven't been beaten, have you?"
Meng Zhao hurriedly slapped Wu Yu and said in a low voice, "Why don't you apologize soon?"
Wu Yu lowered his eyebrows: "I'm sorry captain, next time I..."
"You weren't beaten, were you?"
After a moment of silence, Wu Yu spit out two words: "No."
Bu Chonghua nodded and said, "Don't do it in the corridor in the future, there are cameras."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became alive: "Daxing was drinking, domestic violence, petty thieves, and all five poisons. He didn't even ask him how the girl died, and he asked for money! Tsk tsk tsk..."
"Don't tell me, has our Xiao Wu practiced before, and when he comes up, he kicks him like a chest, smack it!"
"Good-looking Wu Yu, why don't you be so majestic in normal times! You have to be tougher next time, do you know!"
Liao Gang smiled and said, "What do you know, Sister Meng is the only woman in the entire criminal investigation detachment. Ren Xiaowu is protecting our police flower..." Before he finished speaking, he turned around and met Bu Chonghua's indifferent gaze. , On the spot, the cold hair shrugged, and the sound was instantly silenced.
"Everyone goes back to the office, and there will be a case meeting in five minutes." Bu Chonghua said calmly, "We'll talk about this later."
"502 Murder Case, the victim was Xiaoping, fifteen years old. The cause of death was acute cardiac tamponade caused by traumatic heart rupture. The murder weapon was a sharp double-edged weapon with a width of about 3.5 cm. No trace of the killer was found."
"The first round of on-site trace inspection has ended. We checked the entire soil and found no footprints, blood, fingerprints or hair of the murderer."
"The investigation team that went out to visit Xiaogang Middle School replied to the news. Nian Xiaoping has no classmate conflicts or bad records in the school, and school violence can be ruled out for the time being. The owner of the Hongxing Assembly Plant and the workshop director where she worked, also accepted the question. Details The transcript is here, and the cross-validation found no contradictions."
…
"Don't look at the technical investigators, the technical investigators did their best, how hard did you make the technical investigators?" Wang Jiuling spread her hands under the bright gazes of the people in the office, and said helplessly: "The water police station and the frogmen joined the murder weapon in Silihe. Mao didn't find out, let alone the murderer, what can we do? Make a bloody fingerprint from the soil for you?"
The bright eyes of the criminal investigators in the full office fell on his face, an expression that the technical investigator's father loved us again.
"No way, I'll let the forensic doctor Xiaogui and the others take a photosensitive film on the corpse to see if they can find the occult blood." Director Wang said angrily, "Look at the face of Zhong Wuyan, Xia Yingchun, the next mission. Jian Zai sent Bawang Anti-hair loss shampoo to the technical team, be careful, I will really turn my face."
The criminal investigators immediately covered their mouths as if they didn't know anything, and Bu Chonghua asked, "Where's the surveillance video along the way?"
Everyone's eyes shifted, and the honest and honest inspection team leader became the target of public criticism, and immediately began to shake his head.
"It rained heavily that day, and visibility was extremely poor. The crime scene belongs to an area where the management of the suburban border is indiscriminate. The scope of monitoring and screening is too large." The good man Liao Gang sighed and helped him translate, saying: "If you just stare at the monitoring, Even if we find the Year of the Monkey, Horse and Moon, there may not be any clues—I don’t know where the murderer landed after jumping into the river.”
No evidence was found on the scene, nor was social grievances investigated. That is to say, from the incident to the third day, there has been almost no progress in the investigation.
The torrential rain washed away all clues, and the murderer occupied the right time, place, and people, making an already confusing case even more bizarre.
"Does Nian Daxing have any enemies?" Cai Lin sat on the chair, holding the back of the chair and raising his hand to ask: "Then the grandson looks like a master who dares to provoke Lord Ma after drinking too much, could there be a breakthrough in him? "
Lord Ma, Wu Yu, who had just been provoked, sat behind the desk with his head down. Because the T-shirt was too large, he became more and more silent and thin, and he was completely different from just now.
Bu Chonghua watched him stay for half a second.
Meng Zhao said helplessly: "Nian Daxing insisted that he abides by the law and never causes trouble, and asks the Hongxing assembly plant that employs Nian Xiaoping to take the main responsibility, but he refuses to explain anything else, what should I do? It's the victim's family, we can only ask him, but we can't try him!"
That's for sure, a rogue like Nian Daxing has had a lot of dealings with the local police station, and he has long since become a scumbag. Tell him to take the initiative to admit his usual dirty things? That's simply not possible.
"I've asked the people from the University of Punishment to go to Xiaogang Village to visit the platoon, and I should hear back before I get off work." Bu Chonghua stood up and said solemnly, "A fifteen-year-old girl was killed, but the witnesses were unscathed. It's not damaged, if there is any motive for grudges, her parents will probably not be able to escape the involvement, and this aspect needs to be investigated in depth."
Cai Lin quickly got up: "Yes!"
"The only definite feature left by the murderer is the skull mask. We will step up the investigation of hospitals, cemeteries, crematoriums, funeral homes and other places, and focus on sorting out the rural areas around Jinhai City where cremation is not practiced. If there are any clues about buying or selling or stealing corpses, you should immediately In addition, keep two mobile teams in the team to deal with emergencies, and everyone else will go out to investigate the mannequin manufacturers and distributors in the city. Arrange for someone to come to the door and check on them for fire fighting."
Bu Chonghua is worthy of being a veteran of the front-line criminal investigation experience. This trick can be described as poisonous and spicy. Everyone stood up one after another: "Yes!" "Understood!"
The field staff hurriedly put on the police eight pieces and prepared to set off. Liao Gang lowered his voice amid the noise and asked worriedly, "What if I can't find any clues about the mask, captain?"
Bu Chonghua didn't say a word.
"We have never encountered a case with such a clean scene, lack of surveillance, uncooperative family members of the victim, and tight time... If this strange skull mask can't be traced, wouldn't 502 be a 'death case'?"
- Death case, no leads, no evidence, no motive, no suspects. Every criminal investigation captain will encounter a death case more or less, just like a chronic disease, which will not heal for a long time, and eventually become a heart disease for a lifetime.
"...There are only unprofessional criminal investigations in this world, and there is no absolutely clean scene." Bu Zhonghua paused and said, "But what I worry about most is not this, but another thing."
Liao Gang was startled, only to see Bu Chonghua's brows pressed tightly into his eyes, and he said in a low voice after a long while:
"The rainy season is coming, do you think he will commit crimes again?"
Liao Gang changed in horror.
Luck did not favor the Criminal Investigation Detachment.
The technical team checked again and again to confirm that there was no trace of the murderer in the layer of soil shoveled back from the scene. The forensic medical examiner conducted a full autopsy and electronic photography of the body and found no further features about the murder weapon, nor the killer's occult blood fingerprints or DNA.
The police stations in the townships and villages have no police information about the robbery of the graves, and the cremation records of the funeral parlors and crematoriums are also correct. Major hospitals and mannequin manufacturers were interviewed one by one, and the feedback was not optimistic. There was no clue about the origin of the skull helmet.
In the case of the 502 skeletons that happened on the stormy night, it seemed like a carrion crawled out of the river Styx, killed an innocent girl who happened to pass by, and then jumped back to the underworld, never to be seen again.
Where can this case start
