The rain was getting heavier and heavier, like a torrential downpour.
Numbers 20 and 30 were scattered like beans into the dark night that seemed to be filled with ink.
Time passes little by little, and people's hearts gradually become anxious.
where?
where!
Everyone is shouting in their hearts.
Perhaps God finally heard their voices. More than 40 minutes later, someone finally found the car covered with dead branches and leaves in a large pit next to a bamboo forest about one kilometer away from the farm.
The heavy rain last night had caused a lot of water to accumulate in the pit. Coupled with the heavy rain tonight, when they found the car, half of the car with its head down was already submerged in the water.
When Xu Mingzhi and the others rushed over, the dead branches and leaves covering the car had almost been cleared away. The back seat window was smashed open.
Someone shouted: "There's someone inside!"
Hearing this voice, Xu Mingzhi paused and immediately started running.
"Is the person still alive?" Xu Mingzhi asked impatiently as soon as he got closer.
He Yu, who had already descended into the pit and was studying how to get the person out, heard his voice, looked back at him, and shouted: "Still alive, but the situation is not good!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Mingzhi had already jumped into the pit regardless. The water instantly covered half of his body.
Yu Guang also jumped in, and then leaned over with dripping water.
There are dead branches and other things in the pit, making it very inconvenient to move around. Seven or eight people worked hard to get the unconscious Zhou Jiaoran out of the car and drag her to the shore.
The heavy rain has made the road in here muddy, and cars can no longer drive in. He Yu had no choice but to carry Zhou Jiaoran out, with Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang following to protect him.
The ambulance is already on its way.
Not long after the group got onto the road, an ambulance arrived with its lights flashing.
After the ambulance took Zhou Jiaoran away, Xu Mingzhi finally relaxed a little after he had been holding on for a while.
Although it's hard to say what happened to Zhou Jiaoran in the end, the person has been found.
Back at the fork in the road from the farm, Zhang Xueyi was sitting in the back seat of the police car, still looking indifferent, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Xu Mingzhi motioned to the driver to roll down the window. He looked at Zhang Xueyi who opened his eyes and said, "Zhou Jiaoran has been found and she is still alive."
At this moment, something flashed across Zhang Xueyi's eyes. But the speed was too fast, and Xu Mingzhi failed to see clearly what these things were.
Zhang Xueyi said nothing.
Xu Mingzhi actually didn't think about what he wanted to hear from him.
After the car left, he looked back at the path leading to the farm, feeling indescribably complicated.
Back in his car, Yu Guang was removing the gauze from his hands.
Xu Mingzhi took a look and said, "This wound needs to be disinfected again, otherwise it will definitely become inflamed." As he said this, he started the car.
Yu Guang hummed and said, "Just go home and deal with it later."
"Go home! Go to the hospital!" Xu Mingzhi said.
Probably because he found Zhou Jiaoran, Xu Mingzhi felt much better. On the way, Yu Guang even took out a CD from the armrest box of the car and played a song.
The song is an old song, and with the sound of rain hitting the car window, it has a special flavor.
Forty minutes later, the First People's Hospital.
Xu Mingzhi first sent Yu Guang to the debridement room, and then went to the emergency room. He Yu and a policeman were guarding there. Seeing Xu Mingzhi coming, He Yu came up to greet him.
"How long have you been in there?" Xu Mingzhi asked.
He Yu replied: "It's been a while. The main reason for the coma is excessive blood loss. It cannot be ruled out that it is also the effect of drugs. There are multiple stab wounds, including penetrating wounds and scratches, and scratches on both wrists. But I don't know who the murderer is. I was merciful, but it was due to my inexperience, the scratches on my wrists were not deep, and the wounds were already frozen, which is the main reason why Zhou Jiaoran was able to persist for so long."
When Xu Mingzhi heard this, he looked up at the red light in the emergency room. After a moment of silence, he said, "You stay here and I'll take a look at the peripheral vision."
Back at the debridement room, Yu Guang's wounds had almost been taken care of. The doctor was reprimanding him for not being careful enough. Yu Guang sat there silently, lowering his head slightly and looking at the wound on his palm, acting obediently like a college student who had not yet entered society.
Xu Mingzhi looked at the door for a while before going in.
"Doctor, is his wound serious?" Xu Minzhi asked.
The doctor looked up and saw him. He noticed that just like Yu Guang, his body was also covered with traces of rain. After being stunned for a moment, he said, "It's definitely not serious, but if you don't pay attention to it again, this wound will become worse." If suppuration occurs, it will be troublesome, and you will have to dig out a piece of flesh from here."
Xu Mingzhi was a little worried when the doctor said it, so he hurriedly said: "Be sure to pay attention!"
After the doctor left, Xu Mingzhi was worried and told him out of the corner of his eye: "Don't touch the water in the next two days!"
She cast a sidelong glance at him from the corner of her eye, thinking, whose fault is this?
Although the words were not spoken, Xu Mingzhi received the meaning and couldn't help but laugh.
Walking out of the debridement room, Xu Mingzhi suddenly remembered that the plaster on his left hand was missing today, so he asked: "Where is your plaster? When was it removed?"
Yu Guang replied calmly: "I removed it when I came to treat the wound this morning!"
Xu Mingzhi frowned: "How many days has it been? Has it already grown?"
"It's been twenty days, that's about it." Yu Guang replied.
Xu Mingzhi looked at him, still worried, and said, "How about we go and make a movie? I'm here anyway."
Turning her head to look at him, she said, "What do you want me to do again?"
Xu Mingzhi smiled when he heard this and said: "Zhou Jiaoran has been found, but the first scenes of the other victims have not been found yet."
Yu Guang couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "Brother, can't you check again tomorrow? I need to sleep!"
"Strike while the iron is hot!" Xu Mingzhi coaxed nicely: "Zhang Xueyi's condition tonight is obviously unusual. If we can find clues as soon as possible, tonight may be the best time to capture him."
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly felt that he was on a pirate ship.
This does not treat people as human beings at all, this is a rhythm that is used to treat cattle and horses!
When the two of them talked and returned to the door of the emergency room, He Yu was about to call Xu Mingzhi.
He Yu said that the doctor just came out and said that Zhou Jiaoran's condition was not very good. She had lost too much blood for too long, causing signs of functional failure in many organs in her body. He meant that we should notify her family members as soon as possible. .
Xu Mingzhi's mood, which had just relaxed a little, suddenly became heavy again.
After taking a look at the door of the rescue room, he walked aside and called Lao Wang and asked him to contact Zhou Jiaoran's family members. It would be best if they could come over overnight. If it was inconvenient, let the people in the provincial capital call him. Do me a favor.
After the call, Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang stood at the door of the emergency room for a while before leaving.
When I got back to the unit, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.
Zhang Xueyi has been sent to the interrogation room. Unlike Zhang Liangcheng, his treatment is much more 'serious'.
Xu Mingzhi watched him on the surveillance camera and had no intention of going in for interrogation.
In the room, Zhang Xueyi was leaning there with his eyes closed and dozing. As if he was sensing something, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the camera.
After the two looked at each other across the technological equipment, Xu Mingzhi saw contempt and ridicule in his eyes. Xu Mingzhi was relatively calm, but he couldn't hold back his anger at this moment. If it were He Yu, he would probably have to rush in and beat someone up.
He suppressed his anger and told his colleagues who were monitoring the situation to keep him under guard. Then, he returned to the office.
In the office, Lao Wang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw him. He stepped forward and asked, "Aren't you going to interrogate him?"
"It's useless to interrogate." Xu Mingzhi said and asked him: "How was the inspection of the car that was towed back from Futian Village?"
Lao Wang replied: "I found a few fingerprints, but they didn't match Zhang Xueyi's."
"Did that Hyundai car be towed back?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.
Lao Wang shook his head: "Not yet. The road over there is too narrow, and it's all dirt. The crane can't get in. They are still thinking of other ways." After saying that, after a pause, he added: "That Wu Lanlan one The residence has been inspected and nothing has been found.”
Xu Mingzhi frowned and was silent. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Any new discoveries about the Battlefield Alliance game?"
Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, he had completely forgotten about this incident.
"There is no news from the technical department. It should be no. Let me ask again!" After Lao Wang finished speaking, he turned around and went to make a call.
Xu Mingzhi walked to his office.
In the office, out of the corner of his eye, he was holding a certain page of information and was looking at it. The sound of the door opening brought him back to his senses.
Xu Mingzhi asked casually: "Is there anything wrong?"
Yu Guang didn't answer immediately, as if he was hesitating.
Xu Mingzhi just asked casually, but when Yu Guang seemed to have discovered something, he immediately became serious. He reached out and took the page of information in Yu Guang's hand and took a look at it. He found that it recorded the discoveries of corpses recovered from the reservoir. .
At this time, Yu Guang said: "I'm thinking, where did he get these iron blocks? This thing shouldn't be easy to get, right? Moreover, with his caution, he couldn't wait until he was about to kill someone or after killing someone. , he went to prepare this thing. He probably prepared a lot at once. Then he must have a place to put these things. So where will he put them?" As he said, he suddenly asked Xu Mingzhi: " Has Liu Jinye’s repair shop been inspected?”
Xu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Not yet." With that, he was about to go out and arrange for people to search.
Yu Guang stopped him again: "That place is not small. In addition to Liu Jinye's repair shop, there are many factories. You can also check it out."
Xu Mingzhi nodded: "Okay."
After he left, he continued to look at the information out of the corner of his eye.
The information is complicated, and in fact, most of the information may not be useful, but the trouble lies here. At this stage, you can't tell which information is useful and which information is useless. Those seemingly inconspicuous little clues might be the breakthrough in this entire serial murder case. Therefore, you cannot easily give up any tiny clue. You can only clarify the context, straighten out the clues, and find a breakthrough by constantly sorting out the entire case.
At present, the entire case history of Yu Keke's case can be considered basically clear, but there is still a lack of direct evidence. Although surveillance cameras captured Zhang Xueyi appearing near Huangli Village on the night of the 1st, they had no evidence to prove that he had been to that small courtyard or to Miaoshan Village, so there was no way to prove that he went to bury the body. Compared with this, Zhang Liangcheng is more suspicious. He drove Liu Jinye's car to Miaoshan Village that night and stayed there for more than an hour. By coincidence, Yu Keke's blood was found in Liu Jinye's car.
You see, although the Yu Keke case seems to have many flaws, the murderer has made a perfect backup plan. Zhang Liangcheng and Liu Jinye, these two people are both false and true, true and false, they are both suspected, but they are not suspicious enough, and the murderer just picked himself out so easily, even if you doubt him, he has given you all the evidence If you don't admit it, is there any other evidence?
No!
This is the power of Zhang Xueyi.
Looking at the corpse sinking case in the reservoir again, the murderer carefully selected his victims and planned every step carefully. Without that flood, it might have been many years before these bodies were discovered, or they might never have been discovered.
What's more, if there hadn't been the Yu Keke case, even if these bodies surfaced, it would have been difficult to find the murderer. After all, without Zhang Liangcheng's help, they probably wouldn't even be able to find out the identity of the deceased.
Therefore, not only Xu Mingzhi recognized Zhang Xueyi's power, but also Yu Guang.
These cases, including the Yu Keke case that seems to be full of loopholes, can be called perfect cases.
The perfect first step in the case of corpse sinking in a reservoir is the selection of the victim.
In the Coco case, perfection lies in the last step, the murderer's provision.
But, is there really a perfect crime in this world?
