After bidding farewell to Li Chang and his daughter, the master and apprentice returned to Qingcheng City. Time passed quickly and it was already midnight. They had no choice but to go back to their residence and fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows.
After sleeping until eight o'clock the next day, the master and apprentice rushed to the police station.
This time I gained a lot. I accidentally discovered a secret tunnel connecting Kulai Mountain, Lingfeng Mountain and Serang Mountain. Another video surveillance video of the deceased and Song Xiaofan was obtained. They also found the source of the murder weapon, the golden switchblade, and learned that the owner of the murder weapon was Song Xiaofan.
When he heard these three good news, Xiao Feng, who was in the control room with disheveled hair and living almost on instant noodles, was so happy that he almost danced.
"Our Captain Sun is so awesome!" He clapped his hands and applauded.
Zhu Lan also talked about it.
Lao Sun was also happy in his heart, but he didn't show it so obviously.
The golden switchblade did not detect the fingerprints or blood of the murderer, and the murder weapon that killed Huang Min was not found in the air-raid shelter. There was only a pile of ashes burned by the murderer. There is currently no strong evidence to identify Song Xiaofan as the murderer.
Lao Sun still erred on the side of caution and called Xiao Li, "How are you? Are you okay?"
"Captain Sun, not to mention the murderer, not even a single person or a grasshopper is willing to come close to this shabby villa." Xiao Li's accusation contained a dissatisfied tone.
Children's songs also frequently echoed, "Yes, yes, a day has passed and I haven't found anything."
"Is it possible that the murderer came back from the air-raid shelter?"
"This? If there is someone, there must be something moving. There is no way we can't hear it." Xiao Li retorted.
Lao Sun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you go back to the air-raid shelter and dig through the pile of ashes carefully to see if you can find anything the murderer missed."
"Okay!" After hearing the children's song, they immediately became energetic.
Only Xiao Li was puzzled, "But we checked yesterday and there was nothing!"
"Maybe I turned over it too casually." Lao Sun said with a serious face, "You two will dig through the pile of ashes again. Remember, I said that you can't miss any ashes."
"Huh?" Tong Ge, who had been overly enthusiastic just now, suddenly felt that this job was no longer fun at all.
Xiao Li didn't say anything. He was a responsible police officer.
Lao Sun plans to study the video surveillance footage again.
In the basement, Xiao Li and Tong Ge walked through the artificially dug passage and turned forward into the air-raid shelter on the left.
When they came to the pile of ashes again, they each pointed their flashlights at the ashes, and used clamps with their other hands to pull out the ashes.
The ash pile was as big as an enamel wash basin, and Xiao Li could only throw away the ash bit by bit. The children's songs were not much better, and the speed slowed down again and again.
"Hey, Captain Sun, really, what else can be missed in this pitch black darkness!" Tong Ge tightened his shoulders and couldn't help complaining.
Xiao Li didn't hear it and continued to pull.
After half a day, they moved most of the ashes in front of them. The remaining small portion of ashes remained underfoot.
Suddenly, Xiao Li's clip encountered an obstacle and he hurriedly took out the thing covered in ashes. It was a hard object as long as an index finger and about the size of a ten-year-old child's fist.
He shouted, "Look, isn't this already there?"
"What is this?" Tong Ge's eyes were full of confusion.
"No matter what it is, it should be useful if it was dug out of the ashes." Xiao Li put it into the evidence bag and put it in his pocket.
They told the captain what happened, and Lao Sun asked them to go back to the police station first.
After a bumpy morning, the two returned to the police station. Xiao Li returned to the office and used professional tools to remove the ashes on the surface of things. He unexpectedly found that it was a piece of blackened wood. The cross section was burned into black charcoal, and the veneer was unknown. Where to go.
Lao Sun was surprised, "I remember that the murder weapon used to kill Huang Min was a wooden stick. Could this be a burned weapon?"
"Hey, Captain Sun, there are dark red blood stains on it!"
"Really?" But when she took a closer look, she suddenly found that the blood was a little dry. "Send it to Xiao Cao to extract the DNA."
Xiao Li immediately stood up and sent the blood sample to the forensic doctor Xiao Cao.
He was also surprised when he saw this thing, and turned around to get busy.
This wait lasted until eight o'clock that night. Xiao Cao, who worked overtime, even finished the report before handing it to Lao Sun.
Lao Sun hurriedly started reading. Unfortunately, after the blood stains on the wood were baked and burned by high temperatures, the DNA components had been destroyed. Therefore, there is no way to detect whose blood it belongs to.
"how so?"
Xiao Cao shrugged, "I don't want to either."
After continuing to read for a while, she wondered: "Is this piece of wood the end of the person who was hit, and the marks are consistent with the wounds on the head and body of the deceased Huang Min?"
"Yes, as you can see." Xiao Cao said.
However, she saw something different again, "And this piece of wood has the same composition as the sawdust remaining in the wound of the deceased Huang Min?"
"Yes."
"How did you come up with this?" Lao Sun was a little surprised.
"I saw the blood and thought of the murder weapon. So I compared it specifically, and I guessed it correctly. This is the murder weapon."
Lao Sun nodded in shock.
There was one more clue, confirming that the wood was part of the murder weapon that killed Huang Min.
However, only he knew whether Song Xiaofan might have lent the golden switchblade to others.
And where is the rest of the gold?
Now, based on the path found in the air-raid shelter, it can be inferred that the murderer of Huang Min and Zhang Zhen was actually only one person, and it was the same person.
Then, the whole process of the case can be deduced.
Perhaps because of digging for gold, the basement and air-raid shelter were opened unintentionally.
Zhang Zhen wanted to escape for some reason. The murderer tracked him from the basement to the top of Xilang Mountain. He killed Zhang Zhen with a golden switchblade. In panic, he buried the murder weapon on the spot and returned to the basement.
At this time, Huang Min discovered that her husband Zhang Zhen and the murderer had not returned for a long time. Then she saw the murderer returning in blood-stained clothes, and she was sure that her husband had met with misfortune.
In desperation, Huang Min immediately ran away and ran to the right along the secret passage. Unexpectedly, the murderer reacted quickly and was determined to kill her, so together they passed through the surveillance camera and escaped to Kulai Mountain through the arched exit under the vines.
Huang Min's strength was no match for the murderer and he was eventually killed.
I just don’t know where the murderer picked up the murder weapon, the wooden stick, and why he killed Zhang Zhen and her?
After listening to it, everyone present felt that it made sense.
Wait, Lao Sun suddenly thought of another thing.
How could she forget it? Could it be that as we get older, people become confused?
So now I have to continue my trip to the Kulai Mountain Scenic Area. When I think that it will take half a day to go, and it is something that I have to go, Lao Sun feels like his head is as big as a bucket.
Hey, who called her the captain? When a person is in his position, he must do his best!
