Soon, with the assistance of the local police station, Ye Mo contacted the landlord of this rental house, Ms. Wang.
The landlord, Ms. Wang, was working in a nursing home. When she heard that the police were going to check her rental house, she rushed back without stopping.
"Police Captain, what's going on? This rental house is registered, and the fire protection is also qualified." Ms. Wang, the landlady, looked at Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu in police uniforms and suddenly became nervous.
"Hello, Ms. Wang, do you still remember that a man named Zhao Wenshui rented your house for a while?" Ye Mo asked.
"Zhao Wenshui?" Ms. Wang was stunned, thinking for a long time, and suddenly remembered: "There is such a person, it must have been several years. He disappeared not long after he rented, and the deposit was not returned to him. Before he left, He sent me a text message, saying that he had to go out of town for something, he didn’t want the house, and the deposit didn’t need to be refunded.”
"When I sent you the message, about what month was it?" Ye Mo asked.
"In 2003, around August, what happened? Did Zhao Wenshui commit a crime?" the landlady replied.
"He has been missing for four years. We received a report and came to check." Ye Mo said.
"No, how could such a good person disappear?" The landlady also felt strange.
"Can you take us to the house to have a look?" Ye Mo asked.
"That's no problem, but the house is currently rented to a young couple. I have to ask them." The landlady said.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Ye Mo said.
Soon, the landlady called the tenant’s phone number.
It took a while before anyone answered.
"Hey, Xiao Tan, are you at home?"
"I'm at home, what's wrong with the boss lady?"
"It's like this. Several police comrades want to come to check the condition of the rental house. Please open the door."
"Oh, okay, just wait a moment."
After hanging up the phone, Ms. Wang looked at Ye Mo and said, "Let's go up first."
"Sorry for the trouble, thank you for your cooperation." Ye Mo said again.
"It doesn't matter, it's our obligation to cooperate with your work." The landlady and the proprietress were very cooperative.
But Ye Mo felt a little uncomfortable.
If this house is really the scene of the first murder, it would be extremely unfair to this simple landlady and proprietress.
Who will rent her house in the future?
"By the way, does this building belong to you?" Ye Mo asked.
"Yes, I own this building. The first floor is vacant and not rented. The second floor and above are for people to live in." Ms. Wang replied.
Ms. Wang's rental house is in compliance with regulations. Many people rent out the first floor as a warehouse or something, but this definitely does not meet the fire protection standards.
Hearing this sentence, Ye Mo felt even worse.
The rent of a building is the source of income for this landlady.
If something like this really happens, this building will not be able to be rented out.
But life is not always smooth sailing. Many things are like fate.
Some people worked hard to open a restaurant of their own, but on the first day someone came to eat in the restaurant and died suddenly. From then on, the restaurant could not continue to operate, and the person had to be investigated.
There is no fairness in the world.
…
Soon, Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu followed Ms. Wang to the door of the rental house.
Five minutes later, a man in his 20s came to open the door, followed by an average-looking woman with very fair skin.
Ye Mo walked into the house and looked around the room casually.
There was a very strange smell in the house and there were a lot of paper towels in the trash can.
Then he looked at the young couple's demeanor and clothes.
Ye Mo speculated that the two people were making out just now.
That's why it took so long to open the door.
But these are not the point. The point is that there is a square cement platform about 1.2 meters high on the small balcony outside the house.
This is strange at first glance.
"What is this cement platform for?" Ye Mo asked.
"It was built as a table for washing vegetables and clothes. It can drain water, which is more convenient." Ms. Wang replied.
"Did you cultivate it?" Ye Mo asked.
"No, Zhao Wenshui had someone repair it. I thought it was very convenient, so I didn't dismantle it." Ms. Wang replied.
"Zhao Wenshui?" Ye Mo was stunned.
"Did he get your consent?" Ye Mo asked quickly.
"No, he left later. I saw it when I came over to clean it up, and found that it was quite useful." Ms. Wang said.
After hearing this, Ye Mo came to the cement platform and inspected it carefully, then frowned.
"Captain Ye, do you have any questions?" Ye Xiaoyu asked.
"Professional plasterers will never build a cement platform like this. The technology of this plasterer is very rough. It was obviously done by an outsider. There is something fishy in the cement." Ye Mo said.
"..." Ye Xiaoyu also fell silent at this moment.
What is most likely?
It was the head of the victim Zhang Lili.
Her head was sealed in cement.
However, if a person can fit into such a large cement platform, why only one head?
No matter what, the cement platform must be dismantled to see what happens.
"This cement platform has safety hazards. I will arrange for staff to help you dismantle it. We will bear all the project costs. What do you think?" Ye Mo said.
"This... is too troublesome for you. I'm so sorry. I can just ask the master to dismantle it." Ms. Wang said.
"It's okay." Ye Mo said.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ms. Wang nodded.
Soon, people from the Public Security Bureau arrived.
Many police officers and even forensic doctors came.
Ms. Wang began to notice something was wrong.
She hurriedly went to find Ye Mo: "Captain Ye, what's going on? Why are there doctors wearing masks? Moreover, a cordon has been set up downstairs. Is there any problem with this?"
Seeing Ms. Wang's anxious look, Ye Mo winked at another captain, who immediately left with Ms. Wang and the two young lovers.
As Ye Mo ordered.
Construction workers began to excavate the cement platform.
Ye Mo then went to the forensic doctor's box and took out the mask and gloves.
Soon, as the construction workers started digging.
The truth that had been hidden for many years began to come to light.
However, when they saw what was inside the cement platform, everyone was stunned.
Inside the cement platform, there was an iron box.
Ye Mo immediately called in a professional to cut it with a cutting machine.
However, the moment it was cut, the unpleasant smell was immediately released.
It stinks countless times more than canned herring.
The forensic doctor opened the iron box despite the stench.
Everyone was stunned when they saw what was inside.
A body that had been cut in half was wrapped in a white bag and stuffed into an iron box.
What's inside is not Zhang Lili's head, but another corpse.
The bodies were cut off at the waist and placed one on the left and one on the right in an iron box inside a cement platform, and the outside was sealed with cement.
Over the years, it has rotted and fermented, and now it has turned into a pile of black and smelly stuff.
"Zhao Wenshui is 168cm tall, and the upper and lower torso combined seem to be about the same size." Ye Xiaoyu looked at Ye Mo.
"In our Public Security Bureau, can DNA technology be used for extraction?" Ye Mo asked the forensic doctor.
"At the moment, it's hard to be sure, but the victim's bones are contained in an iron box. There is a high probability that DNA can be extracted." The forensic doctor replied.
"Take the body back immediately. If it can be extracted, let Zhao Wenshui's family come over for DNA comparison." Ye Mo said.
"Yes." The forensic doctor nodded.
Later, Ye Mo conducted another inspection of the rental house.
But because too much time passed, no useful clues were found.
All we have to do is wait for the forensic autopsy report to come out.
When they came downstairs, the landlord Ms. Wang saw Ye Mo coming down and immediately walked up to ask.
"Captain Ye, what happened?" Ms. Wang asked.
"We found a body inside the concrete platform." Ye Mo said directly.
"Ah?" Ms. Wang's eyes widened and she took a few steps back.
After the other young couple heard about it, their faces turned pale with fright.
Seeing Ms. Wang's collapse, Ye Mo was helpless.
He is just a criminal policeman, and all he can do is solve the case as soon as possible and find the murderer.
…
Returning to the Anjing Municipal Public Security Bureau, the forensic doctor immediately performed an autopsy on the body.
Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu were conducting further investigation in the evidence room.
It was originally thought that Zhao Wenshui was the murderer of Zhang Lili, but now there is a high probability that Zhao Wenshui is also dead. No one knows what happened.
Now Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu can't wait to know the final result.
But what is the truth?
In the evidence room, Ye Mo and Ye Xiaoyu began to sort out the evidence.
And Ye Mo also made up the most likely development story based on the existing clues.
Here’s the thing…
Zhao Wenshui and Zhang Lili were lovers. They heard that Liu Houcai had dug up a golden Buddha in his ancestral land, so they teamed up to deceive Liu Houcai.
During this time, Zhao Wenshui went to work in a plastic bag factory and lived in a rented house.
Zhang Lili went to Liu Houcai's factory, got close to Liu Houcai, and lived with him.
However, after discovering that Liu Houcai's Golden Buddha was fake, Zhang Lili became furious, started to quarrel with Liu Houcai, slapped Liu Houcai twice, and then rushed out of the door.
You know, that golden Buddha is worth hundreds of thousands. Once you get it, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
For this reason, Zhang Lili sacrificed herself and lived with Liu Houcai for a few months.
In the end, it was discovered that the golden Buddha was fake, and no one could swallow this breath.
Because of this matter, Zhang Lili went to find Zhao Wenshui. The two quarreled and had an argument. During the process, Zhao Wenshui accidentally killed Zhang Lili, cut her body into pieces and dumped her body.
This guess is naturally valid.
But now the question is, what should we do if Zhao Wenshui also dies?
Who killed Zhao Wenshui?
Also, where did Zhang Lili’s head go?
Before the DNA results came out, Ye Mo did not continue the analysis for the time being.
I'm afraid that if I go in the wrong direction, all my previous efforts will be wasted.
What if the body is not Zhao Wenshui’s?
Soon, the identification center gave good news and successfully extracted DNA from the corpse.
The police also immediately contacted Zhao Wenshui's family for DNA comparison.
The results confirmed that the victim was none other than Zhao Wenshui himself.
According to the investigation, this Zhao Wenshui has not been a fuel-efficient person since he was a child, and he has done a lot of sneaky things.
Zhang Lili is not a poor person as Liu Houcai said. When her father was sick, she never paid a penny or visited him once.
That is to say, he later used Liu Houcai to visit his father in the hospital and defrauded Liu Houcai of a large sum of medical expenses.
She did not use this money to treat her father's illness at all.
Zhang Lili and Zhao Wenshui also cooperated in fraud. Zhao Wenshui went to solicit customers, Zhang Lili worked as a prostitute, and finally performed a fairy dance to defraud money.
After all, how much money can one make from prostitution?
But once the immortal dances, you can make more than you can make in several months of prostitution.
But Zhang Lili and Zhao Wenshui both loved gambling, so they were in debt.
Thugs from underground banks once came to collect debts and even injured Zhao Wenshui's family members.
Through this situation analysis, there are many people who killed Zhang Lili and Zhao Wenshui.
their creditors.
The target of their fraud.
These are all possible suspects.
For example, two people performed a fairy dance in a rental house with the intention of defrauding customers who came to visit them for prostitution. As a result, they angered each other and killed each other.
It's not impossible.
No matter who was jumped by the immortal, they would want to kill the other person to vent their hatred.
But now, where are you going to find those prostitutes and creditors?
Four years have passed, and the murderer is still at large, having fled to nowhere.
…
However, with Ye Mo on this case, he can think of any details you can't think of.
Through the black plastic bag, Ye Mo found the factory where Zhao Wenshui worked.
Now, Ye Mo focused on the transparent plastic bag wrapping Zhao Wenshui's body.
He looked at Ye Xiaoyu and expressed his thoughts: "Do you think these packaging bags are the packaging bags from Liu Houcai's factory?"
"Captain Ye, you mean Liu Hou is the only one who is suspected?" Ye Xiaoyu was stunned.
"No, I mean, the suspect may be someone from Liu Houcai's factory, and he is in the same packaging workshop as Zhang Lili." Ye Mo said.
"Then I'll contact Liu Houcai now." Ye Xiaoyu said.
"No, let's go to Liu Houcai's factory." Ye Mo said.
"Okay." Ye Xiaoyu nodded.
Soon, the two contacted Liu Houcai on the phone, and then drove to Liu Houcai's factory to conduct a visit and investigation.
Arriving at Liu Houcai's factory, Liu Houcai came to greet him with several factory supervisors.
Ye Mo showed the packaging bag in the photo to Liu Houcai for identification.
Liu Houcai recognized at a glance that this kind of packaging bag was the packaging material of the packaging workshop of their factory.
This material is used to wrap aluminum and has anti-corrosion and anti-degradation properties. However, it has strict regulations and cannot be produced and distributed to the market at will.
And it must be recycled according to regulations.
Therefore, from this information, we can know that this kind of packaging bag is definitely not something that can be bought casually outside.
Looking at the entire Anjing City, there are not many factories qualified to use this kind of packaging bags.
The aluminum processing factory where Liu Houcai works is one of them.
Therefore, the people who worked in the packaging workshop with Zhang Lili became Ye Mo's main target of suspicion.
And, still a man.
This is basic logic. Women rarely work as cement workers.
And he knew how to use welding technology to put the body into an iron box.
However, what is the truth?
Why were Zhao Wenshui and Zhang Lili killed?
This is too suspenseful.
If the murderer is not found for a day, Ye Mo will not be able to sleep well.
Everyone wants to know the truth...
