The homeless man's house is still there, and the front door is still locked.
He looked around the house and finally fixed his gaze on the window of the back door.
The window was unlocked. Tan Wan studied it for a while, then put his finger into the gap at the edge of the window, held his breath and pulled it out with all his strength.
With a creaking sound, the wooden window opened, and dust and sawdust beside the window flew into the sky, making people choke and cough.
The furnishings in the house were similar to what I saw at the door that day. The garbage in the house was constantly fermenting in the closed space. The smell was like the stinky socks that Li Dongliao wore for a week when he was on the field and then soaked in acid water for another day, and biochemical weapons. There is no difference.
There is a piece of glass on the table to protect it, and there are several old photos pressed under the glass.
The photo has some age and is already a bit old and yellowed.
Tan Wan lifted the glass and carefully pulled out one of the sheets, and found the words on the back: My beloved daughter’s 18th birthday, I wish you happiness forever.
The picture shows a young tramp, and the little girl next to him, who is a head shorter than him, although her appearance has changed a bit, she can still recognize her as Guo Fenglian.
He carefully put a few photos into the evidence bag, put on the gloves he had prepared in advance, and quickly rummaged around the house.
There are many books in this house, most of which are metaphysics books by Qimen Dunjia.
Many of the books here have never been read, and there is a thin layer of dust on the covers.
Only a book called "Shen Nong's Ancient Prescriptions" had no dust on it, and the traces of turning over the pages were obvious.
Tan Wan just turned over a random page and saw dots of blood on the right corner of the page.
The further back you turn, the more blood stains you see, and there are a few fingerprints in the dried blood stains.
Tan Wan stared at the page with the most obvious blood stains for a long time and read the words there, and finally understood: "It is indeed like this."
The most critical evidence was obtained, and just as he was about to evacuate, he suddenly heard a knocking sound coming from the wall panel.
'Boom, boom, boom...'
The sound of knocking sounded at a constant speed, sometimes loud and sometimes soft.
Tan Wan put his ear on the wall panel and listened along the movement of the wall panel. During this period, he thought there was a partition inside the wall panel and kept tapping the wooden wall with his hand.
The tapping sound sounded normal, nothing weird could be detected.
'Dong, dong, dong...' The sound of knocking never stopped, echoing throughout the dilapidated house.
Tan Wan frowned slightly, stood there for a while, and then slowly shifted his gaze to his feet.
"No..." She didn't care about her dirt, and fell to the ground, tapping the ground inch by inch.
After finally determining that the sound was coming from under the bed, she removed all the rags under the homeless man's bed one by one.
The bottom of the bed was almost filled with all kinds of things picked up from the garbage dump. Empty bottles, old dolls, and old blankets were all chaotically stuffed and tangled under the bed.
The bed is so low that even if you bend down, you can't see clearly what's under the bed. You have to kneel on the ground to move it out one by one.
When all the piles of empty plastic bottles and rags were taken out, a partitioned wooden door leading to the basement was exposed in front of him!
I tried to open it twice and found that the wooden door opened upwards. To open the door and remove the garbage was not enough, but also to move the bed.
Tanwan's whole body felt like he had been in a sauna, breathing heavily, staring at the big wooden bed in front of him and lost in thought: "I'm going. If I had known that I would have to do physical work, I would have asked Li Dongliao to come with me."
I called Li Dongliao, but the phone rang for a long time and no one answered.
Until all his patience was lost, he no longer cared about talking about it late, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Do it!"
He almost used up all his strength, like a tracker pulling a ship, to pull the bed open.
The entrance to the basement was completely exposed to the air. After being tired for a long time, I felt dizzy even after talking all night.
Today's incident made Tan Wan realize that it seems that his physical strength in recent years has not improved since he went to the police academy. It is not possible to let Li Dongliao do everything. He needs to step up his physical training to make up for it!
Without saying much, Tan Wan put his hand on the gun bag on his waist and opened the wooden door with the other hand.
As soon as I opened it, a strong and nauseating smell of blood hit my nostrils, and the people in Xundi couldn't bear it.
There was no light on, and it was dark: "Is there anyone down there?!" Tan Wan shouted inside.
As soon as the voice fell, I heard the sound of whimpering for help coming from below accompanied by the sound of iron chains.
Because he didn't know how big it was down there and couldn't clearly see what was going on down there, Tanwan didn't go down rashly.
She turned on the flashlight on her phone and swept towards the basement with her phone.
The place the light swept over was a mess, with messy blood spattered on the walls, and on the ground, half-oxidized and un-oxidized blood was mixed together, soaking the ground.
There are two metal frame beds in the center of the basement, with metal fasteners installed on the beds.
One of the beds was soaked in red blood and was already empty, while on the other bed lay a girl wearing white clothes.
His mouth was taped shut, his hair was disheveled, and his limbs were fixed to the bed, unable to escape.
The girl seemed to be greatly frightened. When she saw someone coming, she looked towards Tan Wan with her eyes wide open. She struggled with the chains with both hands and feet and called for help!
After confirming that everything below was safe, Tan Wan jumped down immediately and touched the light switch on the wall.
As the switch was pressed, the only light bulb in the house gave off a dazzling light, illuminating every corner of the basement and driving away all the darkness.
When the lights were turned on, everything around me became more breathtaking as my vision became clearer.
Rusted hinges and iron hooks hung on the corners of the walls, and a pile of dirty, blood-stained cloths formed a hill on the ground in the corner.
The machete used for the murder was placed on the table by the wall, soaked in blood and lying there quietly.
The little girl was so excited that she kept struggling when Tan Wan untied the hinges for her. It was not until Tan Wan comforted her: "I'm a policeman, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" that she calmed down a little.
Five minutes later, the trapped girl returned to the ground under the leadership of Tan Wan.
Probably because he has been locked up for too long, his eyes have not yet adapted to the sunlight, so he can only cover his eyes with his hands.
On the other hand, she was afraid that the murderer would return home. The girl's nerves were tense all the time, and she looked around from time to time.
Once a cat passes by or a bird flies outside the house, she will immediately look towards the source of the sound and make sure it is not a human before slowly relaxing.
Tan Wan discovered this and comforted her: "Don't be nervous, no one will come here." As he spoke, he patted the gun on his waist and said with a slight smile: "Besides, we still have this."
Seeing the gun, the trapped girl smiled heartily and relaxed a lot.
