Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Chapter 1079 Unexpected Discovery
His voice was a little hoarse as he continued.

"It was my birthday when he disappeared, so I remember it very clearly. On February 2, he said he was going to Xingfuli to collect trash, and he would come back to pick up a cake for me."

September 2th?
Xingfuli Community?
Wang Zhaokai quickly looked into the bridge hole and saw a thin old lady coming out.

"Are you sure?"

The old lady nodded: "Yes, he came to live in this bridge hole one year and six months ago."

"The day he disappeared was February 2, and Chinese New Year was just around the corner."

"He left at about six o'clock that morning and said he would be back early in the afternoon. He often rummaged through the trash cans at Xingfuli for my cakes and other things. It was my birthday that day and he said he would go to Xingfuli to pick up a cake for me and bring it back."

The old lady's voice was flat and seemed to have no emotion at all.

However, he remembered very clearly the time when Zhang Laoba came to the bridge tunnel, the time he disappeared that day, and the time when he went out to pick up garbage.

"What happened to him?"

In fact, when the people living in the bridge tunnel learned that Wang Zhaokai and others were police officers, they knew that something must have happened to Zhang Laoba.

But what could possibly happen to Zhang Laoba? He was not a thief or robber, he was just an old man who picked up garbage, what could possibly happen to him?

Besides, Zhang Laoba definitely doesn’t have much money on him. If he had money, who would come here to pick up trash?

As for family members... there must be no family members, and even if there are, they cannot be visited.

Otherwise, Zhang Laoba would not have to live in the bridge hole.

Facing the thin old lady's question, looking at the obvious expectation in her eyes...

Wang Zhaokai suddenly felt speechless. Zhang Laoba was killed.

He couldn't even figure out why the murderer targeted this kind of people?
Among the eight victims, the identities of five have been verified. Except for Wang Caixia, the other four, like Zhang Laoba, were identified during the city-wide search in the past two days.

Wang Caixia has not been in contact with her family for many years and she doesn't have any relatives in her hometown. From what we have learned so far, she has been a fugitive, collecting garbage and scavenging for all these years.

"He... was killed."

In the end, Wang Zhaokai did not conceal the information that Zhang Laoba had been murdered. On the one hand, this did not involve confidentiality, and on the other hand, everyone in the bridge tunnel had already made speculations in this regard.

"Is it... the Dongfeng Canal?"

The old lady's voice suddenly trembled.

Obviously, these scavengers had also heard about what happened in Dongfeng District.

After all, it was not a small matter. Although no photos were circulated on the Internet, there were many ordinary people watching at the time, and they were discussing and spreading the matter privately.

As a result, the housing prices in Dongfengqu also fell sharply.

Although Dongfeng Road was originally full of old houses, the prices were still relatively high because of the school district. Now Dongfengqu is undergoing environmental beautification, so the housing prices there are showing an upward trend.

But after this happened, housing prices fell again.

Even some elderly people living there are thinking about whether to sell their houses. After all, several bodies were dug out from the Dongfeng Canal and washed in just one plastic bag. It’s disgusting just thinking about it.

Wang Zhaokai did not answer the old lady's question.

No answer is an answer.

The old lady sighed.

She turned around and walked into the bridge tunnel, muttering to herself.

"It's better to die... The sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn... One day... I will die too... That will be good..."

After leaving the bridge hole, Wang Zhaokai led his men straight to Xingfuli. However, they did not drive, as the distance from the bridge hole to Xingfuli was about 3- kilometers, so if they drove, they had to take the main road.

If Zhang Laoba went to Xingfuli to pick up trash that day, he definitely would not have taken the main road.

So, Wang Zhaokai decided to go through the alley.

"Where there are surveillance cameras along the way, record them first."

There are four or five alleys from the bridge tunnel to Xingfuli that Wang Chaokai could choose, and they chose the nearest one.

I heard from people on the other side of the bridge that Zhang Laoba often went to Xingfuli to pick up garbage, and sometimes he did the same. So he should be very familiar with the road from Xingfuli to the bridge. Normally, if he went there, he would definitely choose the shortest way.

So Wang Zhaokai and his team took the shortest route to Xingfu Li and recorded all the places with surveillance along the way.

If my father has been missing for less than two and a half months, it is very likely that some of the surveillance videos have not been completely overwritten.

After recording, go back and continue the detailed investigation.

In less than half an hour, we arrived at the entrance of Xingfuli community.

Xingfuli Community is quite famous in Haizhou City. It is a relatively large community with a population of about 40,000 to 50,000.

There are several gates in this community, and Wang Zhaokai and his friends arrived at the south gate.

This is what the people on the other side of the bridge said. There is more garbage piled up at the South Gate, and it is the exit with the most pedestrians, so when they go to pick up garbage, they usually go to the South Gate.

There is a garbage dump about 50 meters to the left after exiting the south gate.

Wang Zhaokai and others arrived near the dumping site as soon as possible.

"Check the surveillance! I want all the surveillance videos that can capture the entire garbage dump!"

While Wang Chaokai was focusing on investigating the disappearance of Zhang Laoba, Chen Jiang, Sun Biao and others were also leading their teams to investigate several other missing persons whose identities had been confirmed.

Some teams progressed faster. For example, Wang Zhaokai's team determined the specific time when Zhang's father disappeared and the related location, which made it easier to deal with.

But there are also cases where the investigation is slow. For example, the person investigated by Chen Jiang's group was basically unknown to anyone.

I only know that his nickname is Lao Hei, and I don’t know anything else.

It's good enough to be able to confirm the other party's identity, but there are basically no clues if we want to investigate further.

Meanwhile, the city-wide search continues.

On the afternoon of the third day, the identity of another victim was finally confirmed.

So far, the identities of six out of the eight victims have been confirmed, and only two have yet to be identified.

Lu Chuan now has one more clue to investigate.

There are only five hours left before the three days given by Song Jiang State.

Policeman Chen Hai from Guangming Road Police Station and his colleague Wang Hu are visiting and investigating an area of ​​self-built houses.

"Who is this?"

In a small and narrow alley, a bicycle with two large frames tied to the back seat was lying across the middle of the alley, blocking the way of two people.

Wang Hu looked around and saw no one.

"It should be this family, right?"

Chen Hai pointed to the gate facing the bicycle and said, "Go and have a look. Ask them to put the bicycle in the yard. It's not blocking the road in the alley..."
