C50 (1/2)
The number of people in Task Force is limited, and it seems like we can only split up now. After carefully studying the situation with Liao Mengfann and the rest, we finally decided to send Jiang Shan and I to the Wealth Village to have a look, while Liao Mengfann and Brother Huang drove to the Estuary Village to investigate the case of the buttocks cutting while secretly investigating Spirit Realm Organization.
The reason why I allowed Liao Mengfann to go to the Estuary Village was because I felt that although I had solved 12.1 big cases and the Lianpeng Female Corpse case, even though I had a lot of experience in solving them, I did not have a calm judgement on Liao Mengfann. I was susceptible to emotional interference, and could clearly imagine that when I saw the Eight Trigrams Mirror in Cheng Yuee's home, I would definitely enter a state of absent-mindedness.
He told me that the village was about 50 kilometers from the Shanghe County. Southwest of the Shanghe County, it was very poor, with a per capita income of less than one thousand yuan.
While driving, Jiang Shan chatted with me. I found that he was a very talkative person, but I didn't have the time to chat with him right now. I apologized to him, then took out my phone and dialed Aunt Wang Meiqing's cell phone.
”Little Chuan, what's the matter?” Auntie Wang asked.
I asked, ”Auntie Wang, how is the examination for the buttocks?”
”This is one of the strangest cases I've ever seen!” Auntie Wang said, ”The killer cut off the corpse's butt along the end of the spine at the waist. After cutting off the victim's body, the killer completely separated the victim's butt from the deceased's external genitalia, and then cut off the victim's thigh, forming a complete corpse.
”Ah?!” I asked, ”Can you identify the gender of the deceased?”
”The victim was a man!” Wang Meiqing's aunt said: ”Judging from the deceased's muscular elasticity, as well as the lines, I deduce that the age of the deceased should be around 20 years old and not more than 25 years old!”
”Did you discover anything at the Elder Liang?”
”He hasn't yet!” Auntie Wang said: ”However, judging from the cuts on the buttocks, the killer used a rusty saw as a weapon!”
The Auntie Wang continued, ”Judging from the degree of decay of the buttocks, the Time of Death s of the dead should have been here a week ago, not more than ten days ago.”
The Auntie Wang hung up the phone, and I immediately gave Liao Mengfann a call. After picking up the phone, Liao Mengfann told me that her car had a flat tire, and that the Brother Huang was trying to repair it for the driver.
After I hung up the phone, I said to Jiang Shan, ”Bro, shouldn't you change your police car? ”Delaying time!”
”Heh …” Jiang Shan helplessly smiled and said, ”I don't have any funds!”
Ah!
Jiang Shan made me speechless. It was enough for a county to be this poor. A small village appeared in front of them. Looking around, it seemed that a few people were standing at the entrance of the village.
As we approached the village entrance, I saw five people standing there, led by an old man in his fifties wearing an old-fashioned military cap on his head and an old shirt with his sleeves rolled up around his neck. He was holding a large pipe in his mouth, and when he saw our car approaching, he crouched down and knocked on the stone with his pipe, then got up and trotted over to the car.
Jiang Shan and I got out of the car. Jiang Shan nodded at the old man and asked, ”Are you the village head of the village?”
The old man nodded and heaved a heavy sigh. ”Damn it, which bastard did it? In eight hundred years, our village has not had a single murder case, so what's going on? ”
I thought this was bad and hastily asked, ”Old Village Head, did the villagers not go to watch the show?”
”I didn't!” The old man said: ”That guy was probably left in the forest of Da Qiangzi's family. Who would dare to go?”
I chuckled and told the old man that we should hurry over to have a look. The old man raised his pipe, promising me that Da Qiangzi was the strongest in the village, that no one would dare to offend him.
The old man led me and Jiang Shan to a hillside where many fruit trees had been planted, but the fruit trees had just begun to sprout. In the middle of the forest, there was a shack. The smoke from the shack was emitting a faint smoke.
”Da Qiangzi! Where is he? Didn't I tell you to watch carefully? ”Where did you go for a stroll?”
As the old man walked up the mountain, he shouted at the top of his lungs. However, no one came out of the shack. The old man scolded, ”What the f * ck!” He said to me, ”This Da Qiangzi just made some money growing trees, and a few days ago he got a wife somewhere. He's probably making dolls on the brick bed again! ”You should be careful if you don't have anything to say!”
While they were talking, we had already reached the shack's door. The old man took up a big pipe and ruthlessly knocked on the door, ”Da Qiangzi, quickly come out. Someone from the Public Security Bureau is here!”
After knocking on the door a dozen times, there was still no reply. I told the old man, ”Didn't you tell Da Qiangzi to look at that butt of yours? He's probably at the scene! ”
”No, no!” The old man waved his hands, and said: ”Aren't you afraid that we'll just throw it away? I'll let Da Qiangzi take it and look inside the house! We are still aware of this, we have to protect the evidence! ”
”You …” I really didn't want to say anything to this old man. I kicked the door hard, but there was still no response. At this moment, I felt that something was wrong. I lifted my leg and kicked towards the door.
