"Director Li, I didn't expect you to come here in person." When Wang Chunlei saw Li Yinglong, with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and stood at attention and saluted.
Then he looked at Xu Lin and reached out to shake his hand.
Li Yinglong introduced: "This is the leader of the special case team from the ministry, here to investigate the Qingpingshan case."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chunlei immediately saluted Xu Lin again.
Xu Lin looked at the old policeman for a few times. He also had a white name and a crime value of 0, which proved that he had never touched any red lines in his life and was truly innocent.
In this society, such people are rare.
Xu Lin said: "Director Wang, is the reporter still in your office?"
Director Wang nodded: "You are there, I will take you there now."
As he said that, he walked ahead and arrived at the room where illegal criminals were temporarily detained at the police station.
"Cao Daxing, get up."
Wang Chunlei knocked on the iron window outside.
A middle-aged man who was sleeping soundly inside heard it and immediately sat up. When he saw the person coming outside, his expression suddenly changed.
"Wang Suo, I just shot a few wild boars, you don't need such a big leader to catch me, right?"
Obviously, this Cao Daxing knew Li Yinglong's police rank.
But it's understandable, after all, it's shown on TV a lot now, and ordinary people also know the levels of police ranks.
Li Yinglong smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to arrest you, I'm just here to ask you a few questions."
Xu Lin looked at Wang Chunlei and said, "Wang Suo, bring him out!"
He just took a glance and found that Cao Daxing was indeed what he said. He had hunted a few wild boars and hares.
Although wild boar is listed as a second-level protected animal, to be honest, in the eyes of some people in the south, this thing is really annoying. It often enters crop fields to destroy crops, and sometimes rushes into villages to attack people.
Even in the past two years, some people discovered that wild boars were infested in the mountain col, trampling dozens of acres of vegetable fields and killing people.
Therefore, the local government sometimes acquiesces to the people to trap wild boars for hunting.
Even if he knew it, he would turn a blind eye.
"Okay." When Wang Chunlei heard what he said, he immediately stepped forward, opened the cage, and took Cao Daxing out.
Several people came to the director's office of the police station. Cao Daxing looked at the three people in front of him, obviously a little nervous.
Wang Chunlei poured him a glass of water, and Xu Lin gave him a cigarette. The farmer slowly calmed down.
Xu Lin asked: "Brother, can you tell me in detail how you found the skull in the cave yesterday? Please tell me carefully as you pass by, don't miss a word."
When Cao Daxing heard this, he showed a look of fear on his face.
He took a long drag on the cigarette and said: "Leader, I went up the mountain to look at the clips, but suddenly it started raining heavily. So I walked to the entrance of the cave and planned to take a rest."
"I don't know why, but I smelled a very special smell inside, as if it was burning. I couldn't help but go in and take a look. It almost scared me out of my mind. Already..."
Cao Daxing spoke eloquently, and Xu Lin listened attentively and asked several questions.
However, nothing was gained.
After Cao Daxing found the skull, he ran outside without having time to see if anyone was around.
It suddenly occurred to him that among the tracks he found, two groups came out of the cave and then walked directly towards the mountain.
One group ran directly down the mountain.
He then asked: "Brother, you came down from the cave and ran home, right?"
"Yes, yes, I was scared. After I ran home, I rode my bike to the police station to call the police." Cao Daxing nodded and extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray.
Seeing this, Xu Lin gave him another one, and then asked: "Then do you still remember what shoes you wore yesterday?"
"Here, these are the rubber shoes on my feet." Cao Daxing pointed to the rubber shoes on his feet.
Xu Lin looked at it carefully after hearing this, and then took out his mobile phone to compare the photos he took. It was indeed a good pair of rubber shoes.
He immediately thought of the rubber shoe footprints he saw on the mountain, as well as his walking route. Basically, he could determine that it belonged to Cao Daxing.
Then there are only a few other sets of shoe prints left, hiking boots, and two sneakers.
He then asked: "Brother, when was the last time you went up the mountain?"
After hearing this, Cao Daxing thought carefully and suddenly patted his thigh and said: "Half a month ago, yes, it was half a month ago, that is, the 17th of last month. I remember it very clearly. I seemed to be still on the mountain that day. I heard someone quarreling. But because no one usually walks on this mountain, I was afraid of getting into trouble and didn’t dare to step forward.”
"Half a month ago? Someone was quarreling?" Xu Lin's eyes narrowed suddenly.
Although the time doesn't match up, it may be that the murderer was performing some kind of activity there, or performing a sacrifice.
Apart from offering sacrifices, he really couldn't think of any other use for that altar.
As for whether the cave was the scene of the first crime, further investigation is needed.
He said: "Thank you, brother, you can go back. But if we have any problems later, we may still need your cooperation."
"No problem, it is our citizen's duty to cooperate with the police in handling cases." Cao Daxing patted his chest simply, and then looked at Wang Chunlei.
"What are you still doing? Let's go!" Wang Chunlei shook his head and smiled, and then said: "Wait, Cao Daxing, please restrain yourself and don't go up the mountain again. If you catch him next time, I will punish you."
Cao Daxing shook his head like a rattle and said, "I don't dare anymore. I won't go up the mountain again in my life."
Hearing this, Xu Lin and Director Li couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing.
If anyone were to encounter such a situation, they would probably be like him.
After coming out of the Qingping Town Police Station, Xu Lin and Li Yinglong returned to the Municipal Bureau.
They were not without success today. At least it was confirmed that on the 17th of last month, someone was on the mountain and there was a quarrel.
As for who those people are, it depends on the surveillance around Yamashita.
There is only one way to Qingping Mountain. According to the route into the foot of Qingping Mountain, you should be able to find the other party by looking for surveillance footage along the way.
Next, there was an investigation of those skulls and the scene to confirm whether it was the scene of the first crime.
As for the extraction of tire marks at the foot of Qingping Mountain, the Criminal Investigation Detachment is already doing it, but there are many groups of tire marks extracted and they need to continue to be screened.
But at this time, Fang Qingying gained something again.
They found small traces of blood at the scene from which DNA could be directly extracted. And for the two relatively new skulls, after repeated testing, they got a result that the formation time was about 20 days, and the age range was between 55 and 60 years old.
When Xu Lin received the news, he immediately thought of the quarrel heard by Cao Daxing.
