Due to the special geographical location, there are many people around here almost 24 hours a day.
Large trucks are unloading at night, and porters are busy from 12 am to 6 am.
Starting at six o'clock in the morning, all major meat and vegetable markets in Ninghai City will purchase and sell goods from here. In the afternoon, the flow of people will be slightly less.
After six or seven o'clock, during the rush hour after get off work, the bus station started to get crowded again!
Whether it’s night or day, a fire and smoke in the woods will definitely attract the attention of those around you!
However, the police investigating the case visited so many surrounding places, but no citizens provided any clues. This is very strange!
As these questions collided in Ye Mo's mind.
Suddenly, Ye Mo remembered something.
"Lin Xuan, do you still remember that there was a heavy snowfall twenty days ago and the whole city was suspended for three days?" Ye Mo said.
"But the autopsy report said that the victim died about ten days ago. If it were twenty days, this is too far!" Lin Xuan said.
"The autopsy report may not be completely accurate, especially when the temperature is low. Now I suddenly remembered why there were those kind of scars on the victim's body. It was frostbite." Ye Mo said.
"You mean, the actual time of death of the victim was twenty days ago?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Yes, twenty days ago, the whole city was shut down and it snowed heavily for several days. If the crime occurred at that time, it is entirely possible that there were no witnesses." Ye Mo said.
"I understand. In this way, all these abnormalities can be explained." Lin Xuan said.
"So, who on earth would stop work in the city and come out when it's snowing heavily outside?" Ye Mo asked.
"And this person is good at climbing, has violent tendencies, and is mentally unstable!" Lin Xuan said.
"Generally speaking, when are people most likely to become mentally disturbed?" Ye Mo asked.
"Take drugs, lose control of your emotions when impulsive, and drink!" Lin Xuan suddenly looked up at Ye Mo.
"Yes, the murderer was probably drunk." Ye Mo said. As the saying goes, drunkenness makes people cowardly. It would be difficult for a normal person to do such a crazy thing, killing people, cutting off their heads, and dragging them naked. The body was several hundred meters away.
Moreover, at first glance, this murderer seems to be quite smart. He burned his clothes, hung his head on a tree, and threw the body separately!
In fact, these operations are all useless, it is better to just dig a hole and bury it.
He also chose to dump the body at the intersection of a drainage channel with the most traffic. If the weather warms up a little, the body will definitely be discovered if it decomposes.
Therefore, to sum up, the murderer is most likely a person with a low IQ, good at climbing trees, and drank alcohol before committing the crime.
"Now that we have analyzed the general situation of the murderer, the next step is to confirm the identity of the victim. It's not too early now, why don't we come back tomorrow!" Lin Xuan suggested.
Ye Mo looked at the time and found that it was almost a little faster.
"I'll drive you back first." Ye Mo said quickly.
"No, I'll stay in my unit tonight," Lin Xuan said.
"Okay!" Ye Mo then took Lin Xuan into the police car and returned to the Criminal Police Brigade.
…
Arriving downstairs in the cadre dormitory, he was polite to his leader Ye Mo.
"Thank you for your hard work today, boss, for asking you to work on the case with me until so late!" Ye Mo said.
Lin Xuan paused for a moment. Ye Mo's conversation was so official and unfamiliar.
From the moment he left the Lin family, he had completely forgotten the past.
His parents' rejection and his own indifference made him what he is now.
The two of them were in name only, and they didn't even let him hold hands after they got married. Lin Xuan never thought of him as her husband.
How can you expect him to treat you as his wife.
During most of the day alone together today, Lin Xuan couldn't feel a trace of old feelings from Ye Mo's eyes. He only saw the case. Even if he was given a hot water bottle and a police coat, it was just out of instinct between colleagues.
Ye Mo seems to be a different person now. He is thoughtful and decisive, but when you get along with him, there is an indescribable indifference!
…
"It's not hard. This is your duty as a police officer. It's up to you to wear more clothes and don't catch a cold. This case is counting on you." Lin Xuan said.
"Don't worry, leader, I will definitely solve the case within ten days!" Ye Mo said.
"Okay, you've worked hard too, go back and rest early!" Lin Xuan nodded.
After the two separated, Ye Mo went back to hand over the car and wrote down today's case handling record.
The leader on duty of the brigade passed by the office and saw Ye Mo still working at his desk.
He nodded slightly, a police star was quietly rising.
…
Early the next morning, Ye Mo came to the brigade and convened a meeting of the task force.
The case of the headless female corpse has a great impact, and the city bureau attaches great importance to it.
The detachment leaders were also in trouble, and the pressure was also put on Lin Xuan and Ye Mo.
It is a pity that after a large number of notices about finding the corpse were sent out, no one came to claim the body.
The police handling the case compared all recent disappearance records in Ninghai City and found that none of them matched the characteristics of the victim.
So far, you don’t even know the deceased’s name or where he was from.
This further confirmed Ye Mo's previous reasoning.
The deceased was a divorced middle-aged woman who lived alone and had no relatives or friends in this city.
From the time she disappeared until now, her relatives and friends have not looked for her.
It means that she is the kind of dispensable person in the circle of life.
But for such a rich middle-aged woman, there must be some people who please her, or in other words, people who rely on her for food.
But why did no one look for her when she disappeared?
Could it be that the person who killed her was an acquaintance?
However, after a day of investigation yesterday, Ye Mo has already grasped more clues.
"I checked. During the days when the heavy snow stopped work last month, only buses No. 2, No. 6 and No. 45, were running at the place where the crime occurred. Xiaofan, please take someone to the bus company to investigate and ask Ask those drivers what was wrong at that time!" Ye Mo said.
"Got it!" Zhang Xiaofan nodded immediately.
"In addition, others will continue to visit and investigate, asking surrounding residents if there is a man who loves drinking, fighting, and is good at climbing trees." Ye Mo said.
"Yes!" Several other members of the task force immediately followed the arrangement.
Ye Mo was the core leader of the team that they had never seen before. Following him in handling the case, he had a strong purpose, so no one on the project dissatisfied with him.
To be honest, his case-handling ability is much better than that of Captain Yang.
Now that Lin Xuan is here, Captain Yang has been transferred directly.
In other words, Ye Mo is responsible for Team Yang's work.
Therefore, to get involved in the officialdom, you must not only have connections, but also be capable!
People with abilities and background like Ye Mo can be promoted very quickly.
After the work was arranged, Ye Mo and Lin Xuan had to continue with the next step of the investigation.
Lin Xuan seemed to have dressed up a bit today. She put on lipstick and had her hair tied in a bun. Wearing a shirt in a heated room, she had a good figure.
Ye Mo made Lin Xuan a cup of tea and brought it to her.
"Boss, let's have some tea first. We have a hard day ahead. Let me say hello to you in advance!" Ye Mo said.
"Ye Mo, you should call me by my name!" Lin Xuan pursed her lips, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
"There must be a distinction between superiors and subordinates at work. If the detachment leader comes, I will call him by his name. Do you think this is okay?" Ye Mo said.
"I feel that since we are partners in solving cases, we shouldn't be so rigid."
"Then I'll call you Captain Lin." Ye Mo nodded.
"..." Lin Xuan lowered her head and said nothing.
Ye Mo didn't want to talk about anything else at work.
He then said directly: "I'll go to the forensic department to take a look. Captain Lin, come with me!"
"Okay!" Lin Xuan nodded and followed!
