Meng Shaoyuan's face had never looked so sad.
Even Sinclair beside him felt a shudder.
From the time he met this young man until now, this was the first time that he had seen this young man so terrifying.
The body of a little girl lay on the ground.
She was still wearing "new" clothes.
Meng Shaoyuan knew this little girl.
Thanks Hanyu!
Xie Hanyu, the polite little girl who went to Qiangwei Mansion to beg!
She promised Cai Xuefei that she would come back after repaying her kindness.
But she is dead now.
And he died horribly.
Her dirty clothes were gone.
Instead, there are brand new clothes.
But the new clothes were almost torn to pieces.
Many parts of the body are exposed.
There were scars on her face, hands, and various parts of her body.
Some were bruised, and some seemed to have been injured by some kind of sharp object.
What kind of beast could do such a vicious thing to an eleven-year-old girl?
"It's terrible, it's cruel."
The British detective Ross who arrested Jing'an Temple also had a very ugly expression: "I have never experienced such a cruel case. It was just a girl... What I can confirm is that this girl was not only abused before she died. , and she has also been violated. I am investigating her identity."
"There is no need to investigate." It was Meng Shaoyuan who spoke: "Her name is Xie Hanyu, from Zhenjiang."
"You know her?"
"Yes, I know her." Meng Shaoyuan tried his best to control his emotions: "My wife is still at home waiting for her to return."
"God."
Sinclair exclaimed in low voice: "My condolences."
Paul, who was checking the body there, stood up: "Before he died, the deceased was tied up all over his body, especially at his wrists and ankles. He was tied very hard. The murderer punched the deceased in the eyes. Come here."
He called a patrolman, and then said while demonstrating:
"That's it, one hand grabbed the deceased's chest, and the other hand beat and pinched the deceased desperately, and the force was very strong. The deceased's mouth was blocked at the time, and we put a piece of cloth in her mouth. Residues... The most terrifying thing is that the murderer felt that this was not enough, so he used keys, or things similar to keys, to cut the deceased's body desperately. "
Meng Shaoyuan's body began to tremble slightly.
Not afraid, but thinking of the terrible abuse Xie Hanyu suffered before his death?
"To sum up." Paul let go of the patrolman: "The deceased was treated horribly. The murderer must be a perverted lunatic with psychological problems. At the same time, this is not the first scene. The deceased was dragged to the police station after his death. Came here."
"How did you find out?" Sinclair asked immediately.
Ross quickly responded: "A dung worker who got up early in the morning to empty out the night found a sack. When he opened it, he saw this body."
"Where's the sack?" Paul asked quickly.
"Ah, that's evidence from the scene, we've preserved it."
"Mr. Detective, I need to take a look at that sack. Maybe there will be some clues on it."
"Okay, I'll send someone to get it to you right away."
"Gentlemen!"
Sinclair's tone was solemn: "Since the establishment of the public concession, various criminal cases have occurred, but something like today is simply unheard of. We must solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause panic in the concession."
After finishing speaking, he muttered to himself again:
"What kind of devil can he do to a little girl like this?"
"A demon who has exterminated humanity." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "You are responsible for solving the case, and I am responsible for catching the murderer."
Does it make any difference?
some.
Sinclair is convinced that once the murderer falls into Meng Shaoyuan's hands, he will face the most tragic fate in the world.
But he didn't want to stop it.
This murderer is really cruel.
Even if he is caught, what kind of sentence can the concession law give him?
death penalty?
The death penalty is too cheap for him.
"Mr. Police Commissioner." Meng Shaoyuan said word by word: "I am offering a reward of 30,000 yuan to anyone who provides clues."
"No."
It was Paul who spoke to stop him: "Boss, you can't offer a reward. First, it will cause unnecessary panic. Second, it will alert the murderer in advance and make targeted arrangements."
"So, what do you think we should do?"
Paul lowered his voice and said: "I have an idea. To the outside world, let's say that this little girl was caught and tortured to death by a homeless man, but I don't have the ability to do this..."
"You don't, but I do." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Sinclair, you will help with this. Anyway, there are so many unsolved cases in the concession, and you will always find a few scapegoats."
Sinclair was embarrassed.
"Then immediately launch a secret investigation." Paul thought very comprehensively: "According to my judgment, the first scene of the crime will not be too far from here."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. After the victim died, the murderer put the victim in a sack to prepare for disposal of the body. They should have buried the body somewhere or thrown it into the Huangpu River. But why was it thrown in the flow of people? The area around the huge Jing’an Temple?”
Paul's logic is very clear: "Here, the body will be discovered soon, increasing the possibility of the murderer being exposed. There is only one explanation. The murderer must have encountered an unexpected situation when handling the body.
Imagine that when the murderer walked nearby with the body, he might suddenly feel uncomfortable or meet someone, causing him to panic and abandon the body here in a hurry..."
While he was talking there, a patrolman came with a sack.
Paul looked there carefully for a while: "The murderer may have two people... carrying the sack... This little girl seems to be very light. An adult can easily lift it. Why did it take two people?
No, not the murderer, maybe the murderer's subordinate? This shows that the murderer is a man with some power...but his men? Throw the body here? Why?
Is there a possibility that they are not too familiar with the public settlement and don't know where to properly dispose of the body? "
Meng Shaoyuan solved the case largely by relying on his micro-expressions.
Paul, on the other hand, relies on his rich detective experience.
Meng Shaoyuan took another look at Xie Hanyu's body not far away, and he seemed to see pain, anger, and unwillingness on the little girl's face.
He almost said through gritted teeth:
"Paul, help me find this murderer. If you need money or people, I can give it to you. I can help you mobilize any resources in Shanghai!"
"Leave it to me, boss."
Paul said firmly: "What I want is not money, but to catch this cruel murderer. No one can do such a cruel thing to a little girl! Justice is needed in this world!"
no one!
Not anyone!
Xie Hanyu’s spirit in heaven is watching from the sky!
