The seventh day of the lunar new year.
Manzhou City, halongjiang province.
It was cold and snowy.
On the highway about 12 kilometers northwest of the city, several police cars are driving slowly on the highway.
This road is a small rural road. When it comes to winter, the road is closed by heavy snow and is inaccessible.
At the moment, the snow sweeper opened the road in front, and the police car behind was able to pass smoothly.
"Oh, officer Zhao, it's great that you can come and guide!" A burly police officer with a beard said to Zhao Yu from the co pilot, "it's cold and in the annual leave. You're working hard!"
Zhao Yu sits in the middle of the back seat. On the left is his girlfriend Miao Ying and on the right is Xi Mengna, a "suspected girlfriend".
There is no way, because the task of the criminal department is urgent, Zhao Yu can only take Xi Mengna to Manchuria.
"Never mind," Zhao Yu said to the bearded captain, "Captain Qiu, since there is an important case, there will be no holiday!
"At least, let me go home for a year, which is good!"
"Officer Zhao's integrity is admirable," Captain Qiu said with a few compliments. "In fact, this case has appeared as early as winter!
"Years ago, on the day of Xiaonian, we appeared together again, but we didn't rest for a day!
"I thought it would be better after the new year, but I didn't expect that the murderer committed another crime so soon! Officer Zhao, "Captain Qiu swallowed his saliva and said anxiously," we are a vast and sparsely populated place. When winter comes, there are no people in many places. I'm really worried that there are still bodies that haven't been found! "
"Captain Qiu," Miao Ying looked out of the window and asked, "how long will it take to get to the scene?"
"Soon, soon," said Captain Qiu, "there will be more than ten minutes! There's no turning ahead. It's Meihe bridge! "
"In that case," said Miao Ying, "let's get the facts of the case!"
These are practices. Although Zhao Yu and Miao Ying have read the case report, they will be reported by the local criminal investigation team leader every time they arrive at the local place.
"OK, OK," Captain Qiu simply turned around and said to them, "on December 21 last year, a hanged female body was found under the Dongli bridge in donglitiao village, Manchuria!
"At the time of discovery, the body had been hanging for several days. It is preliminarily estimated that the time of death should be around December 16.
"The dead man's whole body was red and frozen
"After investigation, the deceased was a Russian woman named Eliza. She is a waitress at the victory hotel in Manchuria. She is only 19 years old this year.
"The woman has been in Manchuria for less than three years. She is falling in love with a local man and preparing to get married in a year..."
Listening to captain Qiu's introduction, Zhao Yu and Miao Yingfan looked at the case record. There were photos of the crime scene in the record. Looking at the frozen female corpse in the photo, Zhao Yu couldn't help but ripple in her heart.
Since he was engaged in criminal investigation, he has seen all kinds of bodies, but this is the first time for frozen bodies.
Why did the murderer kill a foreign girl so cruelly and hang her under the bridge?
Xi Mengna was a complete layman. After hearing captain Qiu's story, she also showed a strange expression and felt both curious and shocked.
"According to the autopsy report," Captain Qiu continued, "the deceased was not hanged, but strangled by the murderer and then hung under the bridge!"
"Under the bridge..." Zhao Yu interrupted, "there's nothing under the bridge. How did the murderer hang people up?"
"It's an expansion pipe," Captain Qiu said. "The murderer hit two expansion pipes under the bridge. The expansion pipe can bear about 150 kg..."
"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded and whispered, "you have to use an electric drill to lower the expansion pipe. If there is no power supply in the field, you have to use an electric drill with its own power supply..."
"Is there any sign of surname invasion?" Miao Ying asked.
"Yes!" Captain Qiu nodded and said, "there are obvious signs of aggression, but the killer was very careful and didn't leave hair and body fluid
"Also," Captain Qiu said in embarrassment, "our forensic ability here is limited. At present, we can't find out whether the deceased was violated before or after death!"
"Well," Miao Ying nodded, "our forensic team is already on the way and will arrive before dark today."
"Well..." Zhao Yu pointed to the report and said, "let's talk about the second case!"
"Well," Captain Qiu said, "the second case is the same as the first, although the deceased was found on the day of Xiaonian.
"However, it was discovered too late because the crime scene was too far away from the urban area, surrounded by wild mountains, and caught up with the heavy snow closure and the Chinese New Year.
"According to the preliminary estimate of the forensic medicine, the deceased has been dead for nearly two weeks
"The Chinese New Year is early this year," Captain Qiu said. "Therefore, the interval between the two cases is not very long..."
"Is the dead also Russian?" Zhao Yu asked“ Yes, "Captain Qiu nodded," although the victim's name is Zhang Mei, she is a genuine Russian girl and has not changed her nationality“ She is 23 years old. She is a dancer of Manchu red star song and dance troupe. She is unmarried and has no object to talk about... "Where did she find it?" Miao Ying asked“ Near Baiqi Town, just south of the urban area, the bridge has no name. We will call it Baiqi bridge for the time being, "Captain Qiu said." it is close to the mountain forest farm and the location is remote“ Especially in winter, people in Baiqi town will spend the winter in the urban area. There are only forest protection personnel left. The body was found by the people at the forest protection station“ Just like the first one, the deceased was not dressed. After inspection, he was strangled first and then hung down the bridge... "Moreover," Captain Qiu sank and said, "it's close to the forest area because the body is not high enough. The right foot of the deceased was torn and bitten by wild animals, and there were no three toes..." when Captain Qiu introduced it, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying have looked through the corresponding photos. When Xi Mengna couldn't help looking at them, she immediately retched twice, covered her mouth and head, and dared not look again... "Officer Zhao," Captain Qiu swallowed his saliva and said, "this case is really serious! This is the seventh day of the lunar new year. The third case has appeared again“ "As like as two peas," he was straight ahead. "Mei and Qiao are coming. According to the reports from the scene, the deceased is also a foreign woman, and the death is similar to the first two cases." This is definitely a murderous, premeditated serial murder“ Let me tell you that, "Captain Qiu said," this is the first official murder since the founding of Manchuria. Unexpectedly, it is still a series... "Moreover, and... Because this matter has been spread from the people, there are still many rumors of evil sects. I don't know if you have heard!"“ Well... "Zhao Yu nodded slightly," if it weren't for this legend, it wouldn't send me on the seventh day of the New Year! "“ Rumors? What rumors? " Simona couldn't help asking“ Hoo... "Zhao Yu breathed heavily and said," since you like reasoning so much, there's no reason not to know the suspension bridge female corpse case in Eastern Europe in the 1940s? "“ The female corpse of the suspension bridge... Oh... "Xi Mengna suddenly stared," this case is as famous as the London Ripper. It has been written into the top ten outstanding cases in the world. The murderer has not been caught so far“ It's hard... Is it... Someone imitating the killer of the suspension bridge female corpse case?
