After hearing what Liu Houcai said, Ye Mo suddenly had a lot of questions.
He felt that there were many questions that needed to be asked clearly.
"Zhang Lili, how long have I lived with you?" Ye Mo asked.
"More than three months." Liu Houcai replied.
"Did you find that she had interacted with other men in the past three months?" Ye Mo asked.
"No, we work in the same factory and basically stick together every day. There is no other person's number in her mobile phone. She has never left me." Liu Houcai said.
"It means that the only people who have had contact with her in the past three months are factory workers, right?" Ye Mo asked.
"Yes, and she works in the packaging workshop. Basically all the workers are women, so it is impossible for her to come into contact with other men." Liu Houcai replied.
"Do you still have Zhang Lili's photo?" Ye Mo asked.
"Yes, I keep it." Liu Houcai said, taking out a photo from his wallet and handing it to Ye Mo.
Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu came over to take a look, and were both a little stunned at the same time.
The photo was taken alone, and the woman in it was very beautiful.
At least in the factory, she is a relatively good-looking woman.
Now, Ye Mo had more questions.
Why would a 27-year-old good-looking woman fall in love with Liu Houcai, who is in his 40s and has no money and power?
According to normal logic, this is impossible.
Even if Liu Hou is a supervisor, he doesn't have much money.
Zhang Lili's conditions are more than enough to be the lover of the factory director, let alone a supervisor.
In this world, true love is established under similar conditions for both parties.
Ye Xiaoyu liked Ye Mo. It was love at first sight. Both of them were young, which was normal.
So why doesn't Ye Xiaoyu like the 50-year-old security guard in the parking lot at the entrance of the brigade?
Why don't you like Captain Yang, who is in his thirties and just divorced?
This in itself is unjustifiable.
So, Ye Mo looked at Liu Houcai and asked another question: "How did you and Zhang Lili meet?"
"It must have been love at first sight," Liu Houcai replied.
"To be more specific, why did you fall in love at first sight?" Ye Mo felt that there was more and more problems at this moment.
"I worked as a supervisor in the factory, and Zhang Lili worked as a general worker in the packaging department. Every time I went on patrol, I would find that she kept looking at me with her eyes. That kind of eye contact, over time, I found that I fell in love with her. , suddenly one day, she came to see me." Liu Houcai said.
"What are you looking for?"
"She asked me to borrow money because her father was sick." Liu Houcai replied.
"Then what?" Ye Mo asked.
"Then I asked her about her situation, and she said her father was in the hospital alone and had no money for medical treatment, so I said I would go see her father together, and then I helped her pay for the hospitalization and surgery fees, and we have been together ever since. Liu Houcai replied.
"How much are the hospitalization and surgical fees?" Ye Mo asked.
"The total is more than fifteen thousand." Liu Houcai replied.
"You are a small supervisor, how can you afford so much money?" Ye Mo was shocked. It was 2003, and fifteen thousand yuan was a lot.
"It's like this. After my eldest brother and my mother passed away, the village helped me bury them together in the ancestral land of our Liu family. When digging the soil, the village party secretary dug a box in the ancestral land of our Liu family. Inside are some gold and silver jewelry left by our ancestors of the Liu family, and there are also many documents inside..." Liu Houcai replied.
Hearing these words, Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu were both stunned.
Why are there such outrageous stories?
Ye Mo found no trace of lying on Liu Houcai's face.
Clearly, this is true.
"You inherited all this box of gold, silver and jewelry?" Ye Mo asked.
"The box is not big. Most of it is clothes and there are not many valuable things. Based on the contents of the documents, the village party secretary confirmed that these things belong to our Liu family, so he issued a certificate." Liu Houcai replied.
"How much did you pay for these gold and silver jewelry?" Ye Mo asked.
"I went to a pawn shop in Jinmen and exchanged more than 30,000 yuan." Liu Houcai replied.
"What exactly is it?" Ye Mo was very curious.
"Some gold and silver jewelry, silver coins, and a small golden Buddha." Liu Houcai replied.
"Golden Buddha?" Ye Mo was stunned again: "There are more than 30,000 golden Buddhas, right? Moreover, there is a high probability that they will be handed over to the country."
"I asked an expert to identify it. It's actually copper. You don't have to hand it over. I didn't sell it. I kept it on my body." Liu Houcai replied.
"The discovery of gold and silver jewelry in your ancestral land must have caused quite a stir at the time, right?" Ye Mo asked.
"Yes, everyone in the village knows it, and it was even published in the newspaper." Liu Houcai replied.
"Where is this Zhang Lili from?" Ye Mo asked.
"They are from Tujiatun next door to us." Liu Houcai replied.
"Does she have any relatives at home?" Ye Mo asked.
"None of them. They are all miserable people like me." Liu Houcai replied.
"Where do you work now? I see you drove here, you are doing well." Ye Mo asked.
"I still work in the previous factory, and now I am the deputy director." Liu Houcai replied.
Just as he said this, Liu Houcai's phone rang. After answering the phone, Liu Houcai said immediately.
"I'm sorry, captains, there's a machine malfunction in the factory. I have to go back immediately. Once it's taken care of, I'll come back to cooperate with your investigation..." Liu Houcai said.
"It doesn't matter. You go back first. I've asked you almost all the questions today. I'll contact you when needed." Ye Mo said.
"Okay, thank you, thank you." Liu Houcai quickly returned to the factory.
…
After Liu Houcai left, Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu fell into deep thought.
"Liu Houcai is really an infatuated person. Now he has money, a car and status. Not only has he not found a new girlfriend, but he also wants to overturn his ex-girlfriend's case. There are too few such people." Ye Xiaoyu sighed.
"I have been caring for my paralyzed brother and mother for more than ten years. You can't find many in the world with this kind of love for your loved ones," Ye Mo said.
"So God is wise and allowed him to get a fortune, which is probably a kind of compensation." Ye Xiaoyu shook his head.
"It's a pity that most people who are suffering are not as lucky as Liu Houcai. The more miserable people are, their lives will only be more miserable." Ye Mo took a deep breath and said.
"Captain Ye, can you possibly analyze any clues?" Ye Xiaoyu asked.
"I basically have a clear understanding of the whole case."
"Let's talk about it." Ye Xiaoyu said while holding a notebook.
"First of all, the news that Liu Houcai dug up gold and silver jewelry spread around, especially the golden Buddha, which caused quite a stir. Therefore, this attracted lawless elements to covet him." Ye Mo said.
"You mean, Zhang Lili approached Liu Houcai for another purpose?" Ye Xiaoyu actually guessed it.
"If my guess is correct, Zhang Lili should have teamed up with someone to approach Liu Houcai, intending to steal the golden Buddha. In the end, they found out that it was only made of copper, and the two had a quarrel, and Zhang Lili was probably there. During the quarrel, she was killed by her accomplice, and because she was afraid that the matter would be exposed, she cut her body into pieces and dumped her body," Ye Mo said.
"That means that as long as we find a way to find this man, everything will come to light." Ye Xiaoyu said.
"Having said that, this is just my speculation. The specific situation requires further investigation." Ye Mo shook his head. For now, this is just a bold speculation. No one knows what the final result will be. .
…
In order to solve the case as soon as possible, Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu went to Tujiatun to investigate.
Soon, after their visits and investigations, Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu found a man named Zhao Wenshui.
Zhao Wenshui and Zhang Lili are from the same village, and according to villagers, they are lovers.
However, when Ye Mo investigated further, he discovered that Zhao Wenshui had been missing for four years.
His family has also called the police. Zhao Wenshui is currently in the public security system and is classified as a missing person.
Is it possible that Zhao Wenshui fled to another place after killing Zhang Lili and deliberately kept his name anonymous?
If this is the case, the case will become really complicated.
Where can you find such a person?
For Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu, this is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.
…
Therefore, Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu returned to the detachment, intending to find more clues from some information left by the police who handled the case.
First of all, the head of the victim Zhang Lili has not been found yet.
At the crime scene, the police found five bags from the garbage station. The body parts in the five bags contained the victim's limbs and internal organs, which could basically put together a complete headless body.
Moreover, the five bags were buried at different depths.
In other words, these five bags were discarded one after another.
This phenomenon occurs only after a period of time has passed.
From this phenomenon, Ye Mo judged that the murderer should have walked to the garbage station carrying garbage bags and dumped the bodies in batches.
Therefore, the location where the murderer lives must not be too far from the garbage dump.
Moreover, the murderer most likely had no means of transportation. Even if he had a motorcycle, the murderer could dump the body in one go without any need to separate.
Except for the head, a person's body was divided into five bags, each bag weighing at least more than ten kilograms.
Without transportation, I can only carry two bags at most at a time.
During this process, the murderer went back and forth at least two or three times.
Auntie found the body at eight o'clock in the morning.
At ten o'clock in the morning and ten o'clock in the evening, garbage trucks will come to clean up all the garbage.
This garbage station is used to temporarily pile garbage from surrounding commercial and residential areas.
Based on the fact that the five body bags were buried at different depths, Ye Mo analyzed that the time when the murderer dumped the body should be between 6 am and 8 am.
Only during this period will many people go and throw away garbage.
This will also result in body bags being buried.
It is impossible for the murderer to deliberately pull apart the garbage and bury the body bag inside. This does not conform to normal thinking and logic.
He wished he could throw the body away and leave the scene quickly.
Besides, if you pick up garbage in broad daylight, you will attract other people's attention.
"Captain Ye, then the murderer should be someone from the residential area near the garbage station." Ye Xiaoyu said.
"I just checked, and there is a large urban village next to the garbage station, which is rented to tenants who work out of town. I guess the murderer most likely lives nearby," Ye Mo said.
"But four years later, even if we know these clues, there is nothing we can do." Ye Xiaoyu said.
"We have to start from other places. Fortunately, the garbage bags and scrap newspapers that contained the corpses are still in the evidence room, which proves that there are some more responsible people among the investigators." Ye Mo said.
Saying that, Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu investigated the plastic bag containing Dannian's body and the newspaper wrapping the body parts.
Soon, Ye Mo discovered the clue.
"There's something wrong with this plastic bag." Ye Mo said.
"Isn't this just an ordinary garbage bag?" Ye Xiaoyu was a little confused.
"The material and size are wrong. It doesn't look like mass production on the market." Ye Mo said.
"I remember that there is a plastic bag processing factory near the garbage station. Let's go and ask." Ye Xiaoyu said.
"good!"
So, the two went to Yong'an Industrial Plastic Bag Factory non-stop.
This is a light industrial factory, not a source of raw materials, and there is no pollution.
Workers cut and package rolls of plastic materials.
Ye Mo took one of the plastic bags to Yong'an Industrial Plastic Bag Factory for investigation.
Sure enough, the person in charge here recognized at a glance that the plastic bag was produced in their factory.
A model specially customized for a company in Ji'an four years ago has not yet been sold on the market. Its material is also quite special and is different from ordinary polyethylene plastic bags.
So Ye Mo asked the person in charge of the factory again if they had seen Zhao Wenshui.
The person in charge of the factory called all the supervisors in the factory and asked them one by one.
Finally, the director of the warehousing department claimed that he knew Zhao Wenshui.
And also know where he lived before.
As soon as this information came out, both Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu saw hope.
The director of the warehousing department said that Zhao Wenshui only worked at the factory for a few months and then disappeared.
However, he is a sociable person. Not long after he came to the factory, he invited him, the supervisor, to his home for dinner and drinks.
So, based on the information provided by the supervisor, Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu came to the rental house where Zhao Wenshui had lived before.
Not much has changed here. A village in the city is still a village in the city.
Before Zhao Wenshui disappeared, he lived on the second floor of No. 27, Lane 11, Shahe West Street.
Here, it is less than 500 meters away from the garbage station where the body was dumped.
This is completely consistent with Ye Mo's reasoning.
But four years later, this house has long been rented out to other tenants.
Since that room was most likely the first scene of the crime, Ye Mo had to go in and investigate it himself.
Even after so many years, if there had been murder and dismemberment in that rental house.
That would certainly leave some clues.
But Ye Mo never expected that there was something even more terrifying hidden in this rental house.
So much so that the level of suspense in this case has been raised several levels.
