The welcome of the old criminal police was too warm, which was a little difficult for the three players to accept.
After a burst of greetings, the people took their seats.
"Something to drink? I'm sure there's no better bar than Carol's."
"Anything."
Players have alcohol debugging options. Drinking after turning off is like drinking water, so even if they drink strong wine, it will not interfere with their subsequent actions.
"Give me these friends who come from afar the same as me."
The owner of the bar seems to be Carol. He quickly put down the wiping cup, turned and took out a wine bottle, filled with amber liquor and put it in front of the people.
An Yizhi sniffed it. It seemed to be rum. After a small sip, he decided to go straight to the subject.
"Can you tell me about the case?"
"You are always so direct, but that's why I like you very much."
The bar owner walked away wisely. The old policeman took out a bill and said:
"James, buy me a pack of cigarettes."
"All right, boss."
The old policeman looked around carefully, as if looking for someone who might eavesdrop.
He was so careful not to say that the case belonged to the content that could not be discussed, but to put those omnipresent journalists. Those guys bored him to death.
After confirming the safety, the old policeman said:
"I didn't know how to speak for a while."
"Let's start from the beginning. We have time to listen."
The old policeman thought and said:
"The first disappearance occurred about three months ago. The missing person's name was Beatrice, a prostitute who wandered in the streets and alleys of the red light district. The person who reported the case was her companion. She saw her companion get into a car with her own eyes. Later, she didn't have any news of her companion for three days, so she came to the police station to report the case."
"I guess the first disappearance didn't attract your attention, did it?"
Ann guessed.
"I have to say that your intuition is really accurate. Yes, it didn't attract our attention at that time."
"Why? Someone is missing?"
The brave are invincible.
"Other cities may be, but it's normal for a prostitute to disappear for a week in Spann. There are many strong loggers here. I don't need to say more about the rest."
Lush grass on the plains or a face of puzzled, from the grass can not see the past, he murmured to explain it a little see light suddenly.
——Another pure child has been defiled
"At first, we thought that she only lived in a woodcutter's house for a few days, and everyone didn't take it seriously. We didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until several people called the police in succession."
Then he took out a stack of thick file bags from his pocket and handed them to an:
"Here are the list and brief information of all the missing persons. Because of the regulations, I can't bring out all the information about the case. The previous information sent to you is seriously outdated."
An Yi refers to that only five people read the information on the train, and I'm afraid there are more than 100 people in this stack.
But lush grass on the plains can be seen later.
"Well, since there were witnesses, didn't she write down the license plate number and other clues?"
The old policeman shook his head:
"Taking drugs and drinking, going out to sell when she had no money, and living a muddle along life all day. The same is true for the witness of the first incident. At that time, she probably drank a lot of wine and didn't remember the license plate number at all. She only remembered that the other party drove a Pontiac. She didn't even know whether it was a convertible or not."
This is how much I drank. I was so confused.
"Did this car appear in other disappearances?"
"Well, yes. That's why we combined these disappearances. Every time there was a witness's disappearance, there was this Pontiac. Later, we were at a loss. We finally found a witness who remembered the license plate number. Guess what?"
An Yizhi thought:
"License plate number does not exist?"
"Yes, the license plate number doesn't exist. It's a fake car."
The old policeman touched a cigar and lit it, and gave Ann a finger, but he didn't smoke.
"Even if the license plate is fake, the model alone should be able to narrow the suspect."
"That's the problem. There is no Pontiac registered in Spann's vehicle management office. The car seems like a ghost. It doesn't exist at all, but it commits crimes everywhere."
In modern times, the police can find the prisoner through a little clue, but they don't even have a little clue. It's really difficult for a skillful woman to make bricks without rice.
The prisoner did it very neatly. No one saw him except the victim. He didn't even know whether he was male or female. Besides, he was tall, short, fat and thin. The only clue was a Pontiac, which didn't exist in the register.
"We have already offered a reward in the hope that someone can see the car in the city and report it to the police. Unfortunately, there is still nothing to gain up to now."
With that, he drank the rum in the cup. The boss picked up the bottle and seemed to ask him if he needed a refill. The old policeman put his hand on the cup and signaled not to use it.
"I'll talk about the rest in my office. I have more detailed information."
An Yi pointed out that he had this intention. The information was really less by dictation alone.
Just at this time, James, who had just sent out to buy cigarettes, rushed into the bar. He surprised the old policeman and glared at the new man before he spoke.
James realized that there was something wrong with him. After all, there were many people in the bar.
He walked quickly to several people and whispered:
"Boss, someone found the body. The director told us to go and have a look."
Although I had been prepared for it for a long time, the nature of the case changed from disappearance to kidnapping and murder.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm afraid I need to postpone going to my office."
An Yizhi expressed understanding. He said:
"Can we go together?"
Hesitating, the old policeman nodded.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Still sitting in the police car when they came, they rushed to the place where the body was found.
Although the appearance of the body is not good news for the victims' families. After all, the body has not been found, and maybe the relatives are still alive, for the police, a body can provide many clues, which is very important to find the prisoner.
Drive through the city and drive all the way out of the city.
After several logging yards, the road began to become difficult to walk. The flat and smooth asphalt road turned into a bumpy dirt road, which made everyone turn over the wine they had just drunk.
About thirty minutes later, they came to the place where the body was found. There have been many police blocking the scene, and the forensics personnel are searching for possible traces nearby.
The old policeman and James went to his colleagues to ask about the situation, and the three players looked around at themselves.
It seems to be at the sewer outlet in the suburbs. A stream formed by sewage discharge flows along the gully and extends to a larger tributary not far away.
The body was found in a pile of washed smooth rubble at the sewer outlet.
"Where is the first discoverer?"
Ann grabbed a passing policeman and asked.
Because they were brought by the old police, the police officers knew that they were foreign aid, and they didn't have any doubts about the three guys who looked angry.
After pointing out the direction for ANN, he continued to do his work.
"Sir, can you tell me what happened when you found the body?"
The first discoverer was an old man in his 70s. He looked frightened. He held his chest in his hands, his eyes were drifting with fear, and his fingers kept shaking.
The old man didn't answer. An Yizhi had to repeat it again. He looked up at the three people. After a long time, he said:
"Yes, yes."
If it's acting, this guy can already win an Oscar. Anyone can feel his fear.
An Yizhi took out his notepad and pen and asked:
"About what time was the body found?"
"At more than one o'clock in the afternoon, I can't remember the specific time. At that time, I had just had lunch."
"Please describe the specific situation in detail. I know it may awaken bad memories, but please cooperate."
Lush grass on the plains, the male and female brother must have a bargaining grace. The old man's fear seemed to have slightly diminished.
"I'm the cleaner in charge of the sewage outlet. I come back here to clean it almost once a month to prevent sundries from blocking the sewage outlet."
Urban sewers are not sewage as expected. Many sewage will produce chemical reaction when gathered together. If no one cleans them, it is likely to block the sewage pipeline.
"Today, as usual, I came here to work after lunch. When I got there."
Pointing to a grass on the left side of the sewage outlet, he continued:
"I saw something big in the drain. It looked like a foot. At first I thought it was a human model discarded by people, you know, the one used in clothing stores and shopping malls."
The old man's pupils began to dilate and fear haunted him again:
"When I came near, I smelled a very bad smell. Although the sewer was very smelly, it was still a little worse than this smell. At first, I didn't care. I tried to take it out of the pipe mouth with an iron hook. God, it was a real body. I even touched it."
He said he shrank into a ball again, not afraid.
"Don't be afraid, sir. You're safe and don't have to blame yourself. On the contrary, it's your discovery that gives us clues to catch the prisoner."
The brave and invincible comforted the panicked old man.
Seeing no more testimony, an Yizhi lost interest in witnesses. As soon as I closed my notebook, I saw James coming. Whispered in Ann's ear:
"The situation of the body is not optimistic. The forensic personnel said that they can't infer the specific time of death."
"Can you show us?"
"No problem, boss told me."
"Brave, stay and comfort him. Leave and go with me."
Anyway, the brave invincible is so careless that he can't find it even if it's really wired. Moreover, he wants to know what kind of sleeping groove the body is. There's no need to take him with him.
The lush grass on the plains said no comment. The two went into the blockade area with James.
Although he had been prepared, an Yizhi underestimated the condition of the body.
To be exact, it's the degree of nausea.
