It sounded like Gu Laoliu's voice. How did he know that he had returned to the police station? There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.
This disrupted all his questions.
"Lao Lu, let me go out and take a look?"
"It's okay, Director Zhou, you are busy with your work, I will be here at any time." Lu Changming is also a good person. It can be seen that Zhou Sen came to him for something, otherwise he, a person with no sense of presence in the police station, would be able to hit him With the care of the Special Agents Section of the National Police Agency.
Zhou Sen walked out and saw Gu Laoliu running over sweating profusely.
"What's wrong, Sixth Brother, what happened?"
"Brother Sen, something happened to San'er."
"Ye San'er, what's wrong with him?" Zhou Sen's heart thumped, don't be so crow-mouthed.
"Ye San'er is dead, and his body was found in a ditch in the south of the city..." Gu Laoliu said with red eyes.
"What?" Zhou Sen's head also buzzed. He was mentally prepared for something to happen to Ye San'er, but he didn't expect that he would be dead.
Even if he was caught or disappeared, it would be much better than being dead.
"The corpses were soaked to pieces and were too miserable to look at..."
"When was the last time you saw him?" Zhou Sen tried to calm down and asked.
"I went to have dinner with him at noon yesterday. He led a patrol, but I didn't see him when I got off work in the evening." Gu Laoliu recalled.
"Go to the scene first!" Zhou Sen waved his hand. No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as Ye San'er's death. This is the brother who came with him. Even though he may not be in charge of this case, he must To manage.
"Which police station does Chengnangou Caotang belong to?"
"It's the Futou Police Station."
"I know." Zhou Sen was thinking about how to take over the bag, and he found a reason.
Although Ye San'er usually loves to gamble, he also owes some money. People also know his identity and know that he is not a defaulter, so they will not murder him.
Ye San'er is not good at drinking, so it is unlikely that he will get into an accident while drinking, and the ditch and grass pond in the south of the city is not within the scope of his activities.
He wouldn't go there for no reason.
Sitting in the car on the way to Goucaotangzi, Zhou Sen got a general understanding of the situation. Ye Saner's body was discovered by villagers who were cutting grass nearby, and he immediately reported it to the Butou Police Station.
When the Futou Police Station saw that there was a fatal accident, they did not dare to neglect it and immediately sent the Criminal Division police officers to the scene.
A police officer from the Criminal Division recognized Ye San'er. After all, Ye San'er was patrolling the streets and had interacted with all parties. It was not surprising that people from the port police station knew him.
It was precisely because someone recognized him that he sent someone to find Gu Laoliu, and Gu Laoliu went to identify the body anxiously.
Gu Laoliu was startled when he went there. Based on his familiarity with Ye San'er, he recognized him at a glance.
The dead person was Ye Saner. He quickly begged the people at the port office to protect the scene and ran back to find Zhou Sen.
First, he went to the police department, and later learned from his subordinates that Zhou Sen had come to Nangang Police Station, so he came over.
On such a hot day, the body was soaked in water and decomposed within a day.
The Criminal Division of the Butou Police Station formed a circle around the place where the body was found, indicating that the person who died was one of their own.
If it had been anyone else, they would have arranged for someone to take the body to the funeral parlor, and they would have stayed here waiting for someone to come.
This coming and going lasted nearly two hours.
A small black car rushed along the winding dirt road.
Wu En's driving skills were very good. Before he reached the crowd of onlookers, he hit the brakes and stopped. Zhou Sen and Gu Laoliu got out of the car and rushed down quickly.
"Brother Sen, Section Chief Meng."
"Police Department Zhou Sen, Ye Saner's former boss." Zhou Sen politely reached out, shook the other person's hand, and introduced himself.
"I've heard Brother Sen's name a long time ago, Meng Qiang, deputy chief of the criminal section of the Butou Police Station." Meng Qiang said modestly.
Forensic experts are conducting an autopsy at the scene.
"Chief Meng, please take a step to speak." Zhou Sen asked Meng Qiang aside and whispered, "Ye San'er used to be my subordinate. What kind of person he was, I know very well that his death should not be an accident. I want to investigate this case personally, can you provide convenience?"
"Brother Sen, this incident happened on the boundary of our Pier Police Station. If I hand it over, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it to the superiors?"
"I won't embarrass Section Chief Meng. In the name of the Special Affairs Section of the National Police Agency, I will ask your Futou Police Station to take care of it and move this matter up to the National Police Agency." Zhou Sen said.
"That's no problem." Meng Qiang didn't want to offend Zhou Sen. After all, he also knew some rumors, not to mention that Zhou Sen also had a very influential wife.
He didn't know if Zhou Sen was a softie, but he knew that this young man was not someone he could mess with.
"Thank you, Chief Meng, for your understanding."
"Brother Sen, you're welcome." Meng Qiang was obviously older than Zhou Sen, but he still called "Brother Sen" like Gu Laoliu.
Zhou Sen didn't correct him. He called him "Officer Zhou". That's not a system. It's okay to call him "Director Zhou". He's just the chief clerk. It's inappropriate to call him "Zhou Sen" directly. It would be too rude to call him "Zhou Sen" directly...
This title issue is really a headache. In fact, you can call him Team Leader Zhou, but even within the Special Affairs Section of the National Police Agency, very few people call him that. The team leader is not an official. Many people, even if they are team leaders, I don't like being called that either.
Zhou Sen doesn't have this bad habit, but he just does as the Romans do, right?
"Later, I'll invite Section Chief Meng to dinner and call your brothers. Don't refuse!" Zhou Sen said.
"Okay, I'll thank you on behalf of the brothers first." Meng Qiang thanked him. Although he had never dealt with Zhou Sen before, he felt that Zhou Sen was a good person and a person who could get along with him. Moreover, he said Maybe if things get better, it will still be good for your future.
"Forensic doctor, what's going on?"
"The preliminary judgment is that it was drowning, but the detailed results will not be known until after the autopsy." The medical examiner raised his head and said.
"Well, take the body back and do an autopsy first." Zhou Sen ordered.
The forensic doctor did not move, but surrendered his gaze to Meng Qiang. This case was led by Meng Qiang. He was the forensic doctor of the Butou District Police Station and had to listen to his immediate superior.
"Listen to Officer Zhou Sen."
"Yes." The forensic doctor nodded and asked people to put Ye San'er's body on a stretcher and prepare to carry it away.
"Wait a minute?" Zhou Sen suddenly saw that the fingers of Ye San'er's right hand were slightly bent inward, and there was a sharp nail tear on the top of the index finger.
Zhou Sen put on his gloves, walked over, squatted down, picked up the right hand, and observed it carefully.
This grabbing movement should have been made before Ye San'er died, and the missing corner of his index finger nail should have been torn. If the nail was cut by himself, the edge would not have this shape.
It was very likely that it was torn apart when someone pulled it. This alone is enough to show that Ye San'er's death was abnormal.
There are no obvious injuries on the body. It was probably a sudden attack from behind...
All this is his speculation, and the specific situation will only be known after a detailed autopsy.
"That's where Ye San'er found it. At that time, some villagers were mowing grass on the bank of the pond. Suddenly they found something floating in the grass. They thought it was the dead body of some animal. When they got closer, they saw it was a human. They were so frightened that they quickly informed the village chief. , the village chief immediately arranged for villagers to protect the scene and notified the police." Gu Laoliu led Zhou Sen to the location where Ye San'er was found.
Because the body was salvaged, the scene had been almost destroyed, messy footprints could be seen all around, and valuable clues had long been trampled on.
If it was true that the body was dumped after a murder, this place was probably chosen because of this consideration. Even if the body was found, curious villagers would gather together and salvage the body, and the traces at the scene would definitely be destroyed.
There may be villagers coming to this place during the day, but it is too far from the village at night, so there is a high probability that no one will come.
The reeds near the shore were basically trampled, and even if someone dumped their bodies, the traces would be covered up.
Zhou Sen asked someone to invite the villager who found Ye Saner's body and asked him a few questions.
Zhou Sen knew that the information the villagers could provide was very limited. Of course, notices and rewards were still needed.
He obviously came up with the money, and the Futou Police Department would not pay a penny.
Zhou Sen walked around a bit more, especially the road leading to the pond, and carefully inspected it.
If the body is thrown away, there must be tools to transport the body. If it is carried by two people or carried by one person, there will be footprints along the way.
The villagers here all wear cloth shoes or just go barefoot, while city dwellers usually wear rubber-soled shoes or even leather shoes.
The soles of both types of shoes have anti-slip patterns.
Therefore, as long as the patterned footprints appear on the dirt road, they are very clear and are worthy of suspicion.
Of course, it is easy to leave footprints on this kind of dirt road, but it is not difficult to remove them. At least bring a broom with you to cover up all traces.
However, doing this will inevitably leave traces. At most, it will not leave any clues for the investigators.
There is no perfect crime scene in this world. It is just that the clues are ignored due to the thinking and ability of the criminals.
If two people were carrying the body, they would definitely be taking the big road, but if it was one person, it was more likely to be taking the small road.
"Lao Liu, what was the lunar date yesterday?"
"It seems to be the twelfth or thirteenth day of the lunar calendar. I didn't pay attention." Gu Laoliu replied subconsciously.
"On the twelfth day of the lunar calendar, the moon should be waxing gibbous on that day. The moonlight should be relatively bright at this time. If there are no dark clouds covering the moon at night, you can walk without a lamp..." Zhou Sen said to himself.
"Brother, there is a wheelbarrow rut here!" Wu En suddenly shouted.
"Where?" When Zhou Sen heard this, his body suddenly trembled. He followed Wu En's voice and ran over.
"Brother, look, here." Wu En pointed to a small section of ruts on the roadside, which were made of rubber tires.
"How are you sure it's a unicycle?"
"On such a narrow road, only unicycles can be used. Moreover, these tires are not new. They are old ones that have been removed and reused. The textures have been smoothed. However, most people use this kind of rubber wheel unicycle. It can't be used..." Wu En explained while gesturing.
"Take a rubbing of this rut mark and check this car." Zhou Sen ordered.
"Brother Sen, although there are not many such unicycles, this is in the suburbs of Bingcheng. Many people have unicycles in their homes. I'm afraid it will be a lot of work to investigate."
"Are you going to push a wheelbarrow for dozens of miles in the middle of the night?" Zhou Sen asked.
"I understand. This car must belong to a nearby villager. Maybe it was borrowed by someone, used for a while, and then returned..." Gu Laoliu began to make reasonable guesses.
"Please ask the brothers from the port office to help us look for them. Buy them food and drink soda. Don't be afraid of spending money. If you dare to touch my Zhou Sen people, I will make him pay the price!" Zhou Sen said.
"Understood." Gu Laoliu nodded. Ye San'er's death touched him deeply. Today it was Ye San'er. Will it be his turn tomorrow?
If it were a ruthless boss, he would just give him some compensation according to the standard, and maybe even deduct some of it.
"Is there anyone else in Ye San'er's family?"
"No, his parents have died long ago, and he has no brothers or sisters, but his uncles and brothers from the same clan are still there."
"The pension application is based on line-of-duty casualties. Chief Song should not be embarrassed." Zhou Sen said.
"Okay, I'll do it now."
The results of the investigation of the wheelbarrow ruts were soon available. The wheelbarrow owned by a villager named Niu was consistent with the ruts found.
According to him, his wheelbarrow has been placed in his yard for the past few days and has not been used. The field near the road just now does not belong to him, and it is impossible for him to push the wheel there.
Obviously, someone borrowed his wheelbarrow and used it.
"I still find it strange. When I woke up this morning, I found that the direction of my wheelbarrow was wrong. I used to put the front of the wheel facing outside, so that when I use it, I can just push it up and go. But when I woke up in the morning, the front of the wheel was facing the wrong direction. It faces in, and the position is crooked." The villager explained shakily.
"Can I go to your house and have a look?"
"Okay, okay, Officer Zhou, come with me." A villager named Niu led Zhou Sen and his party to their yard.
His house had three tile-roofed houses and a side room. It looked like a well-to-do home. When the family saw a group of people coming in, including the police, they were a little scared.
The wheelbarrow was parked under the shed in the southwest corner, with its front end facing inward and its position slightly tilted.
"This is the car. It was left there when I woke up in the morning. I haven't touched it yet." Niu Da explained, pointing to the wheelbarrow.
Zhou Sen stepped forward and carefully observed the tires, especially the mud stained on them, and whether there were any clues left on the car.
"I can take this car away first. If it delays your use, I can also buy it. How about you buy another one?" Zhou Sen raised his head and asked.
Niu Da was stunned for a moment, a little afraid to agree. He looked at his father behind him, and it was obvious that the person who made the decision in the family was still his father.
"Sir, you can take the car away, as long as you can return it later." The old man said.
"Old man, I don't want to use your car in vain. I'll rent it for one day. I'll calculate the day's rent and send it back to you together with the car." Zhou Sen said, buying this wheelbarrow is of no use to him. Since he doesn't have to buy it, he doesn't have to buy it. Renting is also a good way and it doesn't cost a few bucks.
】
"OK."
Zhou Sen set up a written document and had someone carry the wheelbarrow away.
