Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot
Chapter 1586: The Rotting Corpse in the Iron Cage of the Reservoir
Wang Shuai could not help but said angrily: "You should have called the police immediately instead of trying to cover up the crime!"
Li Xingyao lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Wang Shuai's eyes, and whispered, "I know I was wrong, but I was really scared at the time. I didn't want to go to jail, and I didn't want to lose everything I had now. So, I decided to hide his body so that no one could find it."
Lu Chuan took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, and asked, "Then how did you transport the body away? Go on."
Li Xingyao swallowed his saliva and continued, "I first dragged his body to the basement and covered it with a piece of tattered cloth. Then, I started to think of a way to find a car to transport the body away. I thought of Lao Wang. I had seen him in the auto repair shop before. I thought of giving him some money and getting a broken car. When the time comes, I can burn the car and no one will be able to trace it back to me."
"Why did you choose an abandoned cave as the place to dump the body?" Zhang Hui asked.
"I've been to that abandoned cave before and I know that no one goes there normally, so it's very secluded," Li Xingyao said. "I thought if I dumped the body there, it wouldn't be discovered. Also, there are a lot of weeds and trees near the cave, which can cover up the smell of the body and delay its discovery."
After explaining the situation at the first crime scene, Li Xingyao was taken to the second crime scene - the abandoned cave where the body was found. The cave was filled with a foul and damp smell, the walls were covered with moss, and the ground was full of debris and garbage.
Li Xingyao walked into the cave and looked at the place where the body was dumped, with a trace of guilt and fear on his face. He pointed to a corner of the cave and said: "After I drove the car near the cave, I carried the body in and put it there. I also found some branches and weeds to cover the body to make it less conspicuous."
Lu Chuan looked around and asked, "What happened next? What else did you do?"
"After that I drove away, but I thought of a trick while driving. I was wearing a mask at the time for fear that the surveillance camera would capture me. Then I drove the car into a ravine and thought I would burn it. Anyway, since Lao Wang had stolen the car, he couldn't trace it back to me. When I met Lao Wang, he didn't know who I was. I just gave him some money and he did it." said Li Xingyao.
After Li Xingyao confessed all the details of the crime, the weaving team further improved the chain of evidence based on the descriptive clues provided by Li Xingyao, as well as the clues provided by the on-site investigation and forensic autopsy.
The brick kiln corpse case has now been completely solved.
Less than a week had passed since the brick kiln corpse case, and the atmosphere in the Criminal Investigation Detachment had not yet recovered from the tension and exhaustion of that case, when a new murder report broke the brief calm. A fisherman caught a rotten corpse in an iron cage while fishing in Beishan Reservoir. After receiving the report, Lu Chuan, Zhang Hui, Wang Shuai and others quickly packed their equipment and rushed to the crime scene without stopping. In fact, Lu Chuan also likes fishing on weekdays, but since he joined the Criminal Investigation Detachment and took the position of the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, his work has been really busy, and fishing is a very leisurely and time-consuming job, so Lu Chuan is relatively free. Recently, he has been fishing very rarely, that is, occasionally when there is no case, he goes out fishing once on the weekend.
Of course, since Qiangsheng Group has many fisheries of its own throughout Haizhou City, Lu Chuan sometimes goes to these fisheries to fish, and sometimes chooses to fish in the wild.
This magical species, DYD, generally can catch all kinds of strange things except fish.
For example, the word Beishan Reservoir.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the police car was solemn. Lu Chuan frowned, his eyes focused on the scenery that kept receding outside the window, but his brain was working fast, thinking about the complex situations that this new case might face. Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai sat in the back seat, whispering about the initial speculation of the case. "The body was put in an iron cage and sunk into the reservoir. The murderer must want the body to never see the light of day. The means are cruel enough." Zhang Hui frowned and said. Wang Shuai nodded in agreement: "And the body is rotten. It is estimated that the death time is not short. This case may be difficult to investigate."
After DYD reported the case, the police station arrived at the scene first, so they had a general understanding of the situation on the scene and gave it to the administration. When the detachment reported, they also reported the relevant situation to us.
In fact, although Lu Chuan and others had not arrived at the scene yet, they had already made a certain judgment on the nature of the case. It was definitely a homicide because the body was in a cage, and it was obviously impossible for someone to get in by themselves.
When they arrived at Beishan Reservoir, many people had gathered at the scene. The fisherman who reported the case was pale and stood aside in shock. Next to him was the shabby iron cage that had been used to pick up the body. Lu Chuan walked over. There were people from the local police station who were maintaining order and taking notes. Lu Chuan looked at them and began to ask about the discovery of the body. The fisherman said in a trembling voice: "I was thinking of fishing here today. At first, there was no movement. Suddenly, I felt that the fishing line was very heavy. I thought I had caught a big fish. I took a lot of effort to pull it up. As a result, I saw that it was an iron cage. There was... There was also a body inside. I was scared." Lu Chuan listened patiently and carefully recorded the key information.
After understanding the general situation, Lu Chuan turned around and began to investigate the scene. At this time, Yang Sen and Yang Lin also arrived with professional investigation equipment. Lu Chuan said to them: "First, investigate the iron cage to see if there are any fingerprints, bloodstains or other suspicious traces left on it. The body is seriously decomposed, so handle it carefully and try to find clues to determine the identity and cause of death of the deceased." Yang Sen and Yang Lin immediately started to get busy. They carefully checked the iron cage and did not miss any corner.
Lu Chuan carefully observed the iron cage and the body. He found that the iron cage was the common kind used to catch large animals. There were some signs of wear and tear on it, and it looked like it had been used for a long time. Because the body had been soaked in water for a long time, it had become highly decomposed and emitted a disgusting odor. Lu Chuan endured the discomfort, squatted down, and carefully examined the clothes and physical characteristics of the body. The deceased was wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt with an unknown logo printed on it, a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of black sneakers with some special patterns on the soles. Lu Chuan thought that perhaps these clothes and shoes could be the key clues to finding the identity of the deceased. (End of this chapter)
