Chapter 77: Search.
"Mr. the police officer, what I just said is the truth, I really picked up this tricycle," Chen Zhan Liang said.
"You said it was picked up, if it was picked up how do you prove it?"
"Me…" Chen Zhan Liang thought for a moment and then said: "Yesterday when I picked up the electric tricycle, Sun-Min Jie from our village was also nearby. He was the first person I saw. I gave him 100 Yuan to shut his mouth."
"Where does Sun-Min Jie live?" Han Bin asked.
"It's at the east end of the village, across from the gas station, and there is a telephone pole near the gate," Chen Zhan Liang said.
"Let me ask him," Zhao Ming finished speaking and walked out of the courtyard.
"Where did you get this tricycle?" Han Bin asked.
Chen Zhan Liang remembered and then said: "Going north from the eastern end of the village, there is a dirt road two meters wide. I was working in this area. This tricycle electric was right next door. It was there when I went to work."
"So, you stole the tricycle."
"It was not a theft, and it was picked up," Chen Zhan Liang raised his finger and pointed to the front of the electric tricycle: "The key of the tricycle was inserted on it, and it was unlocked at all, thought it wasn't necessary to leave it there, so I went home with it."
"Da da da…"
There was a sound of footsteps and Zhang Ping walked in with the policeman from the police station.
"Yeah, you caught it."
"Captain Zhang," greeted everyone.
"Chief, I was wronged, I really did not participate in the kidnapping case," Chen Zhan Liang shouted.
Zhang Ping called Han Bin aside: "What's wrong?"
Han Bin gave a brief account.
"Do you think these two people are related to the case?"
"It's unlikely, I asked Zhao Ming to confirm it," Han Bin replied.
"That way, didn't he say the electric tricycle had been picked up? Let him take us to the scene to see if we can find any clues," Zhang Ping suggested.
"Yes, Captain," Han Bin replied.
......
The group left to the east of the village, and halfway Zhao Ming called, proving that the villager named Sun-Min Jie did indeed see Chen Zhan Liang picking up the tricycle. In addition, both people indicated the same position, and the confession was considered correct.
Under the leadership of Chen Zhan Liang, the group reached the small road at the eastern end of the village.
"This is where I work. The electric tricycle was found not far away, only thirty or forty yards away."
"Everyone is waiting here, Han Bin, let's take a look," Zhang Ping ordered.
"Yes, Captain."
The two walked in the direction indicated by Chen Zhan Liang, both wearing shoe covers. After a few steps, they saw the traces left by the electric tricycle on the dirt road. For some time the wheel tracks were badly damaged. Both moved forward while following the wheel tracks and after another 30 meters the wheel tracks were completely gone. Han Bin took a look around him and glanced around. There were quite a few shoe prints, there were at least four or five people, big and small, clearly stuck in the dirt. Among them, there were two parallel finger-wide marks that caught Han Bin's attention: "Captain Zhang, do you think this looks like it was left by a suitcase?"
Zhang Ping observed: "It is possible that where the road is not flat, there are two parallel fingerprints of one finger wide, and where the road is flat, there is a trail of 60 cm wide."
The two walked along the trail and entered a field of watermelons. Unlike the dirt road, there was much less interference here.
They could still see a row of footprints, which should have been left by the suspect while dragging the suitcase, and after walking forty to fifty yards along the path, the footprints disappeared, and the traces of wheels left by the suitcase have also disappeared. It seems that everything has come to the end here. The two stopped and looked around.
Han Bin pointed forward not far from there: "Captain Zhang, the earth over there seems to have been turned over."
"Hey…"
Zeng Ping sighed: "I will inform the technical team and the forensic department. You take the other people to another place; do not destroy the suspect's traces."
"Understood, Captain," Han Bin nodded.
......
Zheng Kaixuan personally led the team to the scene, and under Zhang Ping's command, everyone participated in unearthing a black suitcase. Then he spoke briefly about the situation, and the scene was handed over to the technical team and the forensic department.
The tech team took photos, gathered evidence, and collected soil nearby before opening the black suitcase. A stinky smell emanated from it. The suitcase contained a thin woman whose clothes on her body were missing, and her body was twisted at an incredible angle in order to fit it into the suitcase.
Zhao Ming stood up and looked at the photo for a long time: "It's He Yan."
"How long has she been dead?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
Forensic scientist Lu Wen crouched down, examined it carefully, and touched the corpse again: "The corpse is stiff, has maggots, and the abdomen has rotted and changed color. It is roughly estimated that it was about forty hours since she died."
"How she died?"
Forensic pathologist Lu Wen checked the deceased's chin: "Judging from the existing injuries, she was strangled to death. For further confirmation, an autopsy is required."
"Is there rape behavior before death?"
"There is no obvious sign of rape, if there has been any rape behavior, I have to go back to the lab and check it out," medical examiner Lu Wen said.
"I am waiting to hear from you," Zheng Kaixuan pressed that sentence and stepped aside: "Tian Li, inform the victim's family to come to recognize the body."
"Yes, captain."
......
After an hour, at the branch office of the second group of the Qingdao Third Criminal Investigation Team, Li Hui poured a glass of boiled water, sat on the chair, and sighed: "We were busy for a while, for a long time and we are still helpless."
"We cannot be blamed for this. The victim has been dead for forty hours. We have only received the alarm for over 20 hours, indicating that the victim died before the alarm," Zhao Ming analyzed.
"That's what I said, it's inevitable that I'll be a little disappointed again," Tian Li said.
"She also had a child, how sad to let her hear the news," Li Hui said.
"Okay. Rather than sighing here, you better think about how to catch the suspect," Zheng Kaixuan walked into the second group's office, walked over to the water dispenser, and took a cup of tea.
"Captain Zheng. Did the police find any suspects last night?" Zhang Ping asked.
"No," Zheng Kaixuan shook his head: "After today, the hope of taking control of the situation is ungreat."
"I went to the forensic department earlier and found white genetic material in the body of the deceased," Zhang Ping said.
"That's it," Zhao Ming said.
"These are beliefs," Li Hui smiled.
"Don't be too happy, you have to find the person first. The suspect is hiding in the field, and the case won't be resolved for three to five years?" Zheng Kaixuan hummed.
"What Captain Zheng said is that. The time since the incident is not short, and the suspect may have fled." Zhang Ping showed a worried look.
"Do you have any other clues for the investigation?"
"Fingerprints, cell phone number," Han Bin said.
"Brother Bin, how's your fingerprint research going?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
"The suspect is a male, and he is in his twenties and he is about 175 cm tall."
"Where's the phone number?"
"The Shenzhen police contacted me in the morning. They will go to Bubble Company headquarters today and ask the head of Bubble Company to contact me directly," Han Bin said.
"Hurry here. If the suspect escapes from Qingdao, his cell phone cannot be traced to locate him and find his position."
"Yes, Captain.
Half an hour later, Han Bin's cell phone rang, it was a call from Shenzhen...
