At 11 o'clock in the morning, the special group ended the meeting and officially named the project
"Tian and Qi twins", the suspect's confession, basic information, meeting minutes, etc. were entered into the official file.
In other words, from this moment on, Xu Zheng and Zhou Fangben had 15 days to detect the case. At this meeting, everyone discussed it to the end and decided to start investigating the twins after they officially started working.
Tian Yuanguo first worked as an auxiliary police officer after graduation. This is easy to check because the auxiliary police officer has a heavy job and he is at work most of the time. The rest of the time is probably spent sleeping or resting.
So Xu Zheng asked the special team to divide into two teams. One team focused on investigating Qi Yuanhai, first to find out how this addict got into this hobby.
The other team investigates Tian Yuanguo. And he asked Zhou Fangben to sit in the conference room to analyze the situation, and he was going to pay a visit first... However, the changes in the world were not as satisfactory as expected. They were working non-stop, but the provincial department encountered a thorny problem. At 5:45 in the morning, a vicious criminal incident broke out in Haizhou City.
The incident took place in Gaolaozhuang, Huaguo Mountain, which is actually a B&B village. After the two suspects raped and killed the proprietress of a B&B, cameras in Gaolaozhuang village showed them running south into the forest.
However, from the direction of Gaolaozhuang to the south to the Kongquegou Scenic Area, there are foothills. There are no mountain roads and there are no B&Bs. It is a rarely visited place in the scenic area. In addition, the maple leaves on the mountain are as red as fire, making it difficult to detect from above.
It has been seven hours since the suspects escaped, and no trace of them has been found. In addition, the online name of the owner of the B&B is Gao Cuilan. Yes, she has the same name as the legendary Bajie’s wife.
She has more than 3 million fans on Douyin. Her rape and murder suddenly spread in the Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area. Then the whole Internet spread. The main reason was that the boss lady was very beautiful and charming on the screen... The Haizhou City Police sent no less than 500 police officers to block all the entrances and exits of the Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area. However, there is no wall in Huaguo Mountain. As long as the suspect walks through the mountains and forests, it is still possible for the suspect to escape from the police control.
What's even worse is that it rained today, and the rain was not light enough. The rain will wash away the traces left by the suspect along the way.
Now, under pressure from all sides, the Haizhou police came to the provincial department for help. They had only one intention, which was to catch the two suspects quickly, prevent them from continuing to commit crimes, and calm the public opinion on the Internet.
Peng Wanyou attended the leadership meeting of the provincial department on this matter. According to the process, the provincial department must send people to support. In this case, it is natural to send a criminal investigation supervision team and tracking dogs.
However, Gu Liangjun, who presided over the work of the provincial department, finally suggested to Peng Wanyou: "Your fugitive pursuit office should be good at tracking. I remember Xu Zheng is a good tracking guy, so let him go too. Try to catch this guy as soon as possible." Two people." These days, anything related to Internet celebrities will be very troublesome. The photos of the two suspects have been published all over the Internet, but no clues have been received yet.
The rainy and windy weather has its disadvantages but also its advantages. That is, there are very few people in the Huaguoshan Scenic Area today. Except for tourists staying in B&Bs, other tourists will not choose to go up the mountain in this weather.
Of course Peng Wanyou had no objection. This work would only delay Xu Zheng for one day at most.
"Guting, it only takes about three or four hours from Changming to Huaguoshan tourist area. After arriving, the two suspects have most likely escaped from Huaguoshan. They have even escaped from Haizhou City now." Gu Liangjun naturally had this consideration, his face was solemn,
"It all depends on manpower. The Haizhou City Police have currently blocked the intersections of various highways, provincial roads, and county roads. We sent Xu Zheng there as a firefighting captain, just in case we caught these two suspects." Xu Zheng was watching. On the way to guard, I received a call from Peng Department, and then hurriedly returned to the provincial department, and got on the bus straight to Huaguo Mountain with several tracking experts from the Criminal Investigation Corps and the Special Police Corps.
The team was led by a deputy director of the provincial department, Su Quanming, who was about forty-five years old and seemed to be the director in charge of publicity and external liaison. Xu Zheng was not familiar with him, and this was the first time he met him today.
On the way, Su Quanming asked his secretary to give everyone a brief report on the current situation of the Haizhou City Police.
As of 11:25 a.m., about six hours after the incident, the two suspects were walking south down the mountain from Gaolaozhuang B&B. For such a long time, passers-by, the police, and the Sky Eye system had not discovered the whereabouts of these two people.
Haizhou police have sent people to completely clean up the Huaguo Mountain scenic area, including the 72 caves. They have carefully checked even the corners in the caves, but they still cannot guarantee that the suspect escaped from Huaguo Mountain.
Because there are many trees, caves, and various large rocks standing on the bus, these can hide people.
There are even several reservoirs on the mountain and many B&Bs. Of course, the Haizhou police are now divided into three teams. One team stays in Huaguo Mountain to search for suspects all over the mountains and fields, the other team searches the urban area of Haizhou City, and the last team sets up traffic jams at various intersections.
After the secretary finished speaking, Su Quanming stood up from his seat and looked around at the people in the car. In addition to the criminal investigation people, there were also colleagues from the police dog detachment in the car.
Xu Zheng also knew the visitor, it was Zhou Xiong.
"This time, the leaders of Eucalyptus paid great attention to it and specially gathered the tracking experts from our provincial departments here. The current situation in Haizhou is like this. Do you have any opinions?" The leader asked, even if there is nothing in his stomach. I had to squeeze out a few words. Several tracking experts suggested analyzing the personalities of the two suspects, their execution process, and the last surveillance video of them escaping from Gao Laozhuang.
Xu Zheng did not speak, but sat quietly in the corner, listening to everyone's analysis. To be honest, he is indeed good at tracking. After all, his nose is no worse than the several police dogs brought by Zhou Xiong, and he is also a master of psychological analysis, but he never underestimates anyone.
There must be experts in the Haizhou City Police. The methods mentioned by these people must have been used by them. The fact that they did not find anyone means that this method does not work.
There is no point in discussing the unworkable method now, but he will not say it out loud. He knows it, and these tracking experts also know it. It is estimated that Su Quanming and his secretary are not aware of it in the car.
When Su Quanming saw that Xu Zheng did not participate in the discussion, he felt that this might not be something he was good at, so he did not take the initiative to let him speak. Seeing that everyone was discussing back and forth without any constructive ideas, he ended the discussion. discussion,
"It will take us about three and a half hours to get to the Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area. Let's take a rest first, recharge our batteries, and strive to complete the task as soon as we get there. Otherwise, the work of searching for suspects all over the mountains and fields in the wind and rain will be a huge task. It's so annoying." What the leader said was true. He didn't have to go to the scene and suffer the consequences, but all the tracking experts who participated in this operation couldn't stay in the car.
At this time, someone looked at Xu Zheng and found that he was concentrating with his eyes closed. They had to shake their heads secretly, thinking that he might not be very good at tracking. It would be a pity. In this bad weather, no one is willing to work.
Zhou Yixiong sat next to Xu Zheng and saw everyone's eyes glancing at Xu Zheng beside him, intentionally or unintentionally. He laughed softly and said: "Xiao Zheng, you see everyone hopes that you will stand up at this time and point out the direction for everyone. ." Xu Zheng curled his lips and did not open his eyes. Hearing the sound of rain hitting the car window, he knew that he would not be able to escape today's crime. This kind of weather would really make colleagues in the police who take credit as their top priority. They retreat.
Because the rain in the early winter of the Chang Ming Dynasty is comparable to ice skates, and it can penetrate every hole. Even if you wear a raincoat, you can't block the coldness of the rain. It can be said to be a biting cold feeling.
More than three hours passed quickly, and the car drove directly to Gaolaozhuang Internet celebrity B&B in Huaguoshan Scenic Area, where the proprietress was killed.
As soon as they got off the car, everyone shuddered, what a damn weather! At this time, the person in charge of the Haizhou Police was already waiting here. He forced a smile on his face to entertain the colleagues who came to the rescue from the provincial department.
"Welcome Director Su, welcome everyone. It's such a cold day and we're asking everyone to go out. We've prepared meals for everyone to eat and talk."
"You're still thoughtful." Su Quanming shook hands with him and quickly pulled him into the B&B. Work is work, but it's not okay if the meal is ordered without letting colleagues finish the meal first.
No, the Haizhou police borrowed flowers to present to the Buddha and prepared a lunch for the provincial department and the group at other B&Bs in Gaolaozhuang.
It's very simple. Xu Zheng and the others are naturally not picky eaters with the kind of food that costs forty or fifty yuan per person. At this time, having something to eat and drink is better than anything else, because when he got off the car just now, he had already felt that this raincoat was indeed not picky. Protect against the coldness of winter rain.
After finishing the meal in ten minutes, everyone quickly put down their bowls and held a meeting with colleagues from Haizhou City in the restaurant.
The commander-in-chief of the "December 1 Huaguoshan B&B proprietress was murdered" was the executive deputy bureau of their municipal bureau, Xia Zhongqing, a big man from the Northeast. Xu Zheng just saw him eating two bowls of noodles in one sitting.
"So far, we still haven't found any trace of the two suspects..." Xia Zhongqing glanced at everyone and found that their faces were not good-looking. He knew in his heart that there was no way to escape this storm.
"Our city bureau's psychological experts have analyzed the personalities and behaviors of the two suspects and believe that they are likely to continue hiding in the Huaguoshan Scenic Area." Everyone has almost memorized the information on the two suspects, Shi Daguo and Du Shuqing. , these two people should be classmates, both in their twenties, and neither of them are locals. The police checked their chat records and found that these two people were netizens.
They are friends who play the same game, one from Northeast China and the other from Nanhai Province. They met at LYG and have already stayed in Gaolaozhuang for two days.
Internet celebrity proprietress Gao Cuilan, 35 years old, divorced, her B&B hotel originally hired two workers, but the weather was bad these two days, so there were only two people, Shi Daguo and Du Shuqing, so she gave the employees a day off.
Xia Zhongqing continued to introduce,
"Gao Yun, also known as Gao Cuilan, the surveillance camera of her B&B has been broken, so Shi Daguo and Du Shuqing were not photographed at the scene of the incident. However, there are traces of the two of them on the woman's body. The woman should be After being assaulted, he tried to escape, but one of them hit his temple with a mobile phone and fell into coma. Then the two of them started beating and kicking her. This can be seen from the various soft tissue injuries and broken ribs on the woman's body, and It cannot be ruled out that these two men sexually assaulted each other. The forensic doctor determined that the woman's real cause of death should be suffocation. We speculate that she died from being unable to breathe because the two men covered her head with a quilt... Two The suspect simply put clothes on the body, did some cleaning work casually, covered the woman's body with a quilt, and then ran away." At this time, Xu Zheng stretched out his right hand to raise his doubts.
"Xia Bureau, did these two men drink before committing the crime?" Xia Zhongqing recognized Xu Zheng at a glance. He originally sneered at the legend of being a magical or a detective, but now he was directly asked a key question question,
"We did smell alcohol from the smell left in their room. And there were three empty bottles of liquor in the trash can of the B&B. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that they drank wine with Gao Cuilan last night, and then in the morning, or early in the morning, They broke into the landlady's room again and committed such an evil act." If two men drink three bottles of one kilogram of liquor, they will most likely get drunk. If the three of them drink three bottles of liquor, even if they are not drunk, they will probably have no brains. Must be awake.
Especially what they drink is more than 300 bottles of Wuliangchun, 52 degrees. Even if a Northeasterner can drink it, can he still drink two bottles?
Anyway, Xu Zheng only weighs half a catty. He simply can't imagine a person drinking a bottle of liquor and having sex. I guess even if he does, he should be more than willing and not hard, right?
"And Xia Bureau, based on the two criminal suspects' methods and their information, they analyzed their escape route, and these two people should be strangers to the place, how could they still stay in Huaguo Mountain? "In response to Xu Zheng's question, Xia Zhongqing put away his previous contempt. This young man said something meaningful. Indeed, the conclusion they inferred was not very rigorous. He looked at their chief director and then at Su Quanming. Shen Sheng said: "We also found the clothes of the daughter of the proprietress Gao Cuilan at the scene. According to our investigation, Gao Cuilan's daughter is ten years old. She took a taxi from the city to the B&B by herself at seven o'clock last night. Her grandmother can do this. Testify. Now this little girl is missing! But the police call we received from the B&B next to Gao Cuilan found that the door of their house was open. When we came in, we found no one. When we called, we found Gao Cuilan covering her head with a quilt in the bedroom, and then he found that the person was dead. By the way, the boss called the police at 8:30 in the morning. It has been more than three hours since the incident." Xu Zheng suddenly wanted to curse in his heart. After doing this for a long time, the two murderers should have kidnapped Gao Cuilan's ten-year-old daughter. Daughter, no wonder the Haizhou City Police’s focus of investigation has always been the Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area.
Looking at Su Quanming's expression, he was also shocked, obviously not aware of this new news.
"When did you discover this situation?" Su Quanming asked seriously. Xia Zhongqing hurriedly explained: "We have only confirmed this news less than three hours ago. We were just suspicious before because the little girl has been in school these days. She usually lives at her grandma's house and occasionally comes to a B&B. We initially passed The owner of the B&B next door confirmed that Gao Cuilan's daughter had not come to Gao Laozhuang, so she didn't think about it. Later, the child's grandmother didn't tell us until noon that the child was missing. Gao Cuilan's daughter, how should I put it, she is only ten years old. , but like a little adult on weekdays, she goes to school by herself, and sometimes takes a taxi to her mother's place. This time, the child's grandma thought that the child would go to her mother's place to stay overnight as usual, and then take a taxi to school early the next morning. So, Yin By mistake, we found out about the missing child a little late." Not everyone present believed Xia Zhongqing's explanation. This was obviously their negligence, and they should have discovered the child long ago. Missing, just blocked the news.
They didn’t even report to the provincial department in the morning. Of course, according to their explanation, it can be explained clearly. After all, the child's grandma must have been heartbroken and even delirious when she first heard the bad news. Later, she slowly recovered and remembered her granddaughter.
Xu Zheng didn't believe Director Xia's explanation, but he had no right or obligation to investigate whether Haizhou City concealed the report. After all, even if they concealed the report, it was to prevent the situation from expanding.
If the news leaks out, there will be an uproar on the Internet, and even enthusiastic people will join the search for the child.
Xu Zheng sighed in his heart, forget it, this matter cannot be pursued. The top priority is naturally to find the child rather than the suspect. He doesn't care what others think, but at this moment, he has no intention of arresting the two suspects. .
But if the child was really abducted by these two people, then they might really continue to hide in the Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area.
Because you really can’t run far with a ten-year-old girl. Especially in this windy and rainy weather.
Xu Zheng saw that the big guys were discussing where to start again. He walked to Xia Zhongqing and asked in a low voice: "Xia Bureau, can I meet the person who called the police?" What's the use of calling the police?
"Of course, let's go, I'll go with you myself."
"Isn't this bad?" Xu Zheng looked at everyone and found that they were no longer discussing at this time and were only staring at himself. He hurriedly explained: "I'm going to ask the caller some things first, and you guys can discuss it first. I'll be back in a minute." After saying that, he looked at Su Quanming, and after getting approval from the leader, he followed Xia Zhongqing to find the person who called the police.
The person who called the police is Gao Cuilan's neighbor and colleague. Of course, they are not really from Gaolaozhuang. They all rent the house here as a B&B. There is a bit of competition on weekdays, but not much, because the Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area is doing good business.
Pu Lei, 50 years old, rents a house and runs a B&B here with his wife. Today is the first crime scene he discovered, and he also reported it to the police. At this time, he was very worried, fearing that the police would regard him as a suspect. people.
If you lock him in the bureau for ten days and a half, even if he comes out safely, your work will be delayed. These days, at his age, with two children in college, living expenses are quite high, and the elderly in the family also have to spend money on medicine, so there is no room for him to make any mistakes.
But he usually has other thoughts about Gao Cuilan, an Internet celebrity who lives alone. Otherwise, he wouldn't have pushed her away from her bedroom this morning. Now, if someone is killed, he himself will be more or less suspect, right?
Therefore, when he saw Director Xia coming over, he immediately became nervous and almost blurted out,
"I didn't kill him!" Xu Zheng followed Xia Zhongqing, always paying attention to the B&B owner's expression, and found that he was just a little nervous and worried, but not afraid, and his eyes did not dodge, which meant that he was probably not the murderer.
Just now, I had imagined that the caller would perform a last-ditch attack after discovering that Gao Cuilan was not dead. It seemed wrong.
It's just that on this stormy day, he was not at home with his wife, but went to the neighbor's house next door. This can't help but make people think...
"Uncle, don't be nervous. I have something to ask you." Xu Zheng waited until Xia Zhongqing made the introduction and then asked the middle-aged uncle with a smile: "You told us the police before that you knew the two people who lived in Gao Cuilan. Guest. So have you had any contact with them in the past two days?" Pu Lei quickly waved his hand.
"This is bad. They are the guests of the Gao family girls. I am suspected of robbing the guests if I come into contact with them." Xu Zheng changed the subject and asked: "Then why did you leave directly this morning when you saw the door of Gao Cuilan's house open? Go in?"
