The investigation of the permit still made little progress by the afternoon. Although the boys in the service company were very motivated, they never got any valuable clues.
So far, the basic investigation has restored Zhang Qianniu's route after leaving the base. The only thing that is certain is that he was still alive after leaving the hotel after 6 p.m. After the whistle blew at 7 o'clock, someone last saw him at the fishing boat pier on the commercial street - he was vomiting on the beach, but there was no one with him, according to witnesses.
After that, no one visited Zhang Qianniu again.
Now, people from the service company and the police station are investigating everyone who has had contact with Zhang Qianniu to see if they can find new clues.
Xu Xu returned to the office with the materials. He needs to reorganize his thoughts. "String together" the materials you have mastered.
During this period, Renne called and said that according to the results of his own autopsy, Zhang Qianniu had defensive injuries on his arms and hands. He should have struggled with the murderer before being killed.
He knew very well that the investigation would not be of much use. It had already been 24 hours, and the murderer had enough time to escape.
But this incident has always been a bit confusing for Licensing. So far, the killer's motives remain murky.
Based on his years of experience in criminal investigation, 99% of homicide cases are motivated - the so-called indiscriminate killing is just a drop in the ocean. The murderer who killed Zhang Qianniu must have had his purpose.
He had previously ruled out killing for love or robbery, so revenge killing became the biggest suspect. Many people in the navy were born pirates. If you check the history carefully, they may not be innocent. They may be burdened with blood debts and vendettas. The murderer probably discovered that he was in Kaohsiung by chance and had the intention to kill him.
But why the murderer stripped him of his clothes puzzled him. It's understandable that the murderer would chop off his head - to vent his anger, but stripping off his clothes would be a bit strange.
After he came, stripped off his clothes and chopped off his head, the only explanation was that the killer didn't want anyone to recognize who the body was. It kind of makes no sense from a vendetta perspective.
What was the murderer stripping off his clothes for?
Xu Xu was thinking hard, and suddenly an idea broke into his mind. He suddenly became excited: Yes, why didn’t I think of it earlier?
He immediately jumped up, picked up the phone on the table and shook it a few times: "Call Qijin Base Headquarters."
After a few minutes. The sirens in the port and business district all sounded at the same time, which was the Navy's "emergency return" signal. Once this signal is heard, all naval officers and soldiers who have taken leave of absence must return to the team.
Li Xu has a new inference: the murder is probably related to Zhang Qianniu's uniform!
He then ordered the messenger of the service company who was on standby: "Run immediately to find the company commander and tell him that it is my order: starting from 7 o'clock, all naval soldiers operating in the commercial streets, Kaohsiung city and ports will be arrested. Concentrate and escort them to Screening within the base!”
"Yes, sir!" The ordering soldier saluted. He turned around and trotted out.
Permit took off the holster hanging on the wall and was about to go out. Suddenly the phone rang again. He quickly picked up:
The call was from the police, and the information they reported completely confirmed his inference.
About an hour ago, the police station received a report from a navy soldier: His uniform was missing!
The soldier took leave from the base a few hours ago and found a "yellow card" in the commercial street. Went to the "inn" above the Co-op store on the commercial street. After finishing the work, he fell asleep as usual, and when he woke up, he found that his uniform and navy dagger were gone.
The "yellow cards" themselves are no problem - these yellow cards are individual prostitutes who have been "shunted" from Lingao. The selection criteria are that they have practiced in Lingao for more than one year to ensure that there are no spies among them. The police initially thought it was an ordinary theft. So I just asked about "Yellow Card", but Huang Card himself fell asleep and couldn't provide any more information. Investigation at the scene revealed that the thieves climbed up the downspout from the back of the cooperative store, then pried open the window and climbed in.
The police who then went to explore discovered a puzzling problem: the prostitute's own clothes, jewelry and even money were there. The only thing missing is the sailors.
The director of the police station came from Lingaoguo. He received police training in Fangcaodi, so he has a professional background. This strange theft case immediately reminded him of Zhang Qianniu's murder case: he was also a sailor, and he also lost his uniform. He immediately called the authorized phone number to report the matter.
After listening to the director's case introduction on the phone, Xu Xu gradually frowned. The director hadn't finished speaking yet. He has completely confirmed his speculation.
These are two related cases - the murderer's purpose was to obtain the sailors' uniforms, and they obviously had some political intention!
Xu Xu hung up the phone and quickly shook the phone handle again.
The whistle did not disturb the enjoyment of the people in the cooperative restaurant. After a few people finished drinking tea, they decided to go back for dinner when it got late - Dr. Zhong was said to be making "cold food dishes" today. Everyone is ready to have a taste. When going out, Zhong Xiaoying and Credia decided to buy new clothes. Just fell behind. Westley and Monsieur the Priest strolled down the street.
At this time, a drunken soldier came towards him and bumped into Vestri. The soldier shouted to Westley: "Hey! Redhead, are you blind?"
Westley didn't answer either - he just shrugged apologetically: "Why don't you speak?"
The soldier still refused to give up and came closer.
Padre Dermot shook his head. He signaled to Westley not to pay attention to these two drunkards. The two of them continued to move forward, but unexpectedly one of the soldiers suddenly pulled out the navy dagger he carried with him. He stabbed Westri twice in the lower back so violently that Westri screamed and fell to the ground. Riots immediately broke out in the streets. The drunkard stabbed Vestry down, and then stabbed the priest Dermot with a dagger. The priest screamed and fell down.
Credia and Zhong Xiaoying were walking this way and were shocked by what happened in front of them. Zhong Xiaoying has learned martial arts at home and her movements are very flexible. She rushed forward and saw that the soldiers who had caused the trouble were fleeing.
Zhong Xiaoying pulled out 60 types of revolvers - in order to ensure her safety, Dr. Zhong asked someone to teach her shooting skills and even applied for a pistol specifically for her. But she didn't fire: there were too many people on the street, and shooting rashly would hurt innocent people. She gritted her teeth and chased after him.
All this was seen by Credia. Cretia regained consciousness and hurriedly went to Vestry who was lying on the ground. He saw a large pool of blood under Vestri's body, and when he touched his mouth and nose with his hand, he was no longer breathing. Credia immediately collapsed to the ground.
Zhong Xiaoying chased the murderer all the way. At this time, the police's harsh whistle sounded throughout the commercial street. Zhong Xiaoying knew that the entrances and exits of the commercial street were now closing, and even if they could escape from the door, they would be in the wilderness. Walking at night is looking for death.
The murderer ran towards the fishing dock. Zhong Xiaoying followed closely. She didn't know why this navy soldier would kill someone - but she had an intuition that this man didn't look like a sailor.
You have to catch him alive!
The other party ran to the fishing boat pier and plunged directly into the bay. He dived for more than ten meters in one breath before his head came out. He immediately started swimming through the waves and found that the water quality was excellent. Zhong Xiaoying didn't dare to jump in and chase her - her water skills weren't too bad, but compared with her opponent, she was far inferior, and she might not be her opponent in the sea. She stamped her feet anxiously - there were navy sampans patrolling the entrance to the port, but there was no way to notify them to come and intercept.
There were many fishing boats in the bay, and the commotion had caused many people to come out of the cabins to "watch". Zhong Xiaoying shouted: "Catch him!"
However, the fishermen realized that the person swimming was a soldier, and the person shouting was a girl wearing a "Kunren" dress. They couldn't figure out the situation, and no one dared to make mistakes.
Seeing that the murderer was almost out of the effective shooting range of the pistol, she no longer cared about "catching him alive". According to the shooting posture learned at Feiyun Club, she raised the gun with both hands, crouched slightly, took aim, and pulled the trigger.
Almost at the same time, the swimmer spread his hands and sank immediately.
"Killing!" A scream came from the fishing boat. The entire fishing dock was also in chaos.
Zhong Xiaoying finally escaped from the pier. The security forces on duty at the pier did not speak Chinese and stopped her. He waited until the police arrived to escape. She quickly returned to the crime scene. Credia was seen kneeling on the ground in despair, holding Westri's head tightly in her arms. Even the priest remained motionless.
After hearing the news, the security forces soldiers and police officers had already formed a human wall around the area.
Unexpectedly, Priest Dermot shook his body and got up from the ground. Zhong Xiaoying hurriedly went over to help him.
"Priest, how are you?"
The priest groped up and down for a long time and felt that not a hair on his body was hurt. He couldn't help but take out the cross around his neck, kissed it with his mouth, and made a cross on his chest.
"God bless..." As he said this, he quickly checked Westri's breathing and shook his head helplessly. "My poor child..."
As he spoke, he began to mutter scriptures.
At this time, Li Li and Dr. Zhong also came and saw the priest praying for Westri there. Li Xian looked extremely embarrassed - he didn't expect that such a major case would happen under his nose!
Zhong Lishi asked Zhong Xiaoying: "Why don't you send him to the hospital quickly? Can Westri be saved?"
"The foreign monk said that he was out of breath and was giving it to Vestri... A good person died like this..." As he said this, Zhong Xiaoying couldn't help but feel a sore nose and shed tears. They had been getting along day and night these days, We were already very good friends, but I didn’t expect him to die like this.
