"Leader," a police officer in Zhangze city said to Zhao Yu after people came to the well, "we have been looking for missing persons who agree with the characteristics in nearby villages and towns!
"We think that since the body appears here, the murderer and the victim are probably from nearby villages and towns!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yu didn't answer, but focused on the well that appeared on the hillside.
The wells are indeed made of bricks and cement, which looks particularly rough. There is more cement along the well, but it is not particularly uniform. Bricks have been exposed in many places, which is particularly perfunctory.
"What exactly is the origin of this well?" Miao Ying asked, "doesn't anyone know?"
"No," replied the local policeman, "I asked everyone in the forest farm and said I never noticed."
"This well..." said Zhang Yaohui. "It looks like it was built in the 1980s and 1990s. That kind of red brick looks very familiar. My hometown uses this kind of red brick."
"Yes..." a guide said in the local dialect, "we also use it to build a house now! But... If we need to dig a well in the forest, we usually use stones and local materials! "
"Stone?" Zhao Yu asked, "stone well?"
"Yes," replied the guide, "you can have a look. There are stone wells in the mountains. Stones are easy to find, but bricks are difficult to transport!"
"Also..." Miao Ying said behind Zhao Yu, "such a deep well needs a lot of bricks. The traffic here is inconvenient. It must be very troublesome to build the well with bricks!"
"Yes, leader," said the local police officer, "this well is strange. From here to the gully, there are all streams with water all year round. If it's not a long-term life, there's no need to dig a well here!"
"The key is that there is no water in the well?" Zhang Yaohui sighed.
Zhao Yu still didn't answer and looked into the well.
"Leaders, be careful," a police officer warned, "because the well has been dug to the end, more than five meters deep! Be careful! "
Zhao Yu looked down, but saw the dark inside. It was really scary.
Zhang Peipei, with his tools, hurriedly turned on a high-power flashlight and took it underground.
The distance of 5.5 meters can't see anything on the flat ground, but it's not shallow in the deep well down!
If a person falls from a height to the bottom of a well, he will have to fall out for good or ill, even if he can't fall to death.
"Have you... Dug your head?" Zhao Yu looked at the bottom of the well, looked at the large amount of soil and stones dug up next to her, and asked the local police officer.
"Yes, it has been dug to the bottom," replied the local police officer. "Further down, there will be no wells, and the soil has changed significantly and become harder.
"We dug a few more times, but we didn't find any more bones, so we stopped."
"Moreover," another local policeman added, "I don't dare to dig down. The well is squeezed a little deformed. I'm afraid it will collapse!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully.
"Team leader," said Zhang Peipei, "shall we go back and bring radar to detect it?"
The radar mentioned by Zhang Peipei is the electronic pulse radar specially used by the police to find bones. It has been used in video homicides before.
"Don't use it for the time being," said Zhao Yu. "You'd better wait until the identity of the dead comes out!"
"Well, but..." Zhang Peipei said again, "I've seen the test and analysis of section chief Wang. There is a clear difference between the soil at the bottom of the well and the soil where the corpse is buried. There should be nothing below!"
"OK..." Zhao Yu stared at the bottom of the well with good eyes and was still thinking about something carefully.
"I saw that the report said," Miao Ying asked the local police officer again, "the wellhead was sealed with a big stone?"
"Yes." The local police quickly signaled that they saw a rectangular rock.
"Are there any fingerprints on the stone?" Miao Ying asked.
"No," replied the other, "only the witnesses were extracted. At that time, a scientific research team camped here to see if there was water in the well, so they pushed away the stone and simply dug, but they found the bones! "
"Scientific research team?" Miao Ying asked again, "where is the scientific research team?"
"From Northwest Agricultural University," the other party replied, "a professor who studies biology leads a group of students! They were supposed to stay here for a week. That's good. It's over early. "
"Well," Miao Ying said, "tell them to come to Qinshan police station tomorrow. We need to inquire about the situation."
"Yes!"
Miao Ying, after all, is the Commissioner of the criminal department. Naturally, the local criminal police dare not neglect it.
"Have you searched around here?" Zhao Yu finally left the well and asked the local police.
"Yes, after the crime, we have searched the whole mountain," replied the local police officer, "but we didn't find anything! All the footprints found are those of the scientific research team! "
"Team leader," Zhang Peipei reminded, "the last body was buried three years ago. If the murderer never came back during this period, there should be no more traces of him!" When forensic doctor Zhang said so, everyone nodded. Three years is long enough to destroy any trace. However, Zhao Yu smiled, shook her head mysteriously and said, "no, it's not necessarily! I can see that you must not have done heavy physical work! "“ Huh? " Zhao Yu said this, and everyone was confused“ The poor people's children are in charge early, "Zhao Yu went to two local guides with dark skin, patted them on the shoulder and said," when I was 8 years old, I started building houses with my parents. What about you? "“ We? " A guide thought for a moment and said, "I only worked with my parents when I was in junior high school."“ I didn't... "the other shook his head“ Hehe... It doesn't matter... I don't mean to ask you whether you have worked, but... "Zhao Yu went back to the well and said to Zhang Peipei," forensic Zhang, next, I'll send someone to dismantle the well! "“ Oh? " Zhao Yu's words are always taken by surprise, so that everyone can't keep up with their ideas“ At that time, I need you to personally command the whole demolition process of the water well! " Zhao Yu put away her smile and said seriously, "you need to take your people, carefully check each brick, and extract the fingerprints on the brick and cement for me without falling to the ground, can you?"“ Oh... "Zhang Peipei finally realized," do you mean to find out who built this well? "“ Handling bricks and mixing cement, whether it's building walls or wells, the truth is the same! " Zhao Yu made a gesture of wiping cement, "the fingerprint will be well sealed in the cement, that is a ready-made fingerprint mold“ So, no matter how many years, the trace will be there! "“ I see, "said Zhang Yaohui if he realized something." if we find the man who built the well, the case will be easy to handle? "“ Not only that, "Miao Ying said," this well is obviously specially used to bury people! Therefore, the person who built this well is likely to be the murderer of this case!!!
