Wangchao Town Police Station.
Seeing that Gu Chen shared the PCR technology with everyone, everyone also believed that with the technology of the Municipal Bureau's technical department, Liu Forensic Medicine and Gao Chuanfeng's team, it should be possible to use the polymerase chain reaction technology to separate Yuan Jialiang and the wild man. Find out the relationship between the deceased.
But first, a prerequisite was needed, which was to dig out the dead body from the wild grave.
Turning to look at the old lady, Gu Chen asked her again for confirmation: "Old lady, are you sure that there is really no relative claiming the wild grave on the mountain?"
"No." The old lady shook her head, confirming, "How many years has this wild grave existed? How could someone come to claim it? It would be nice to know the exact location."
"That's good." After receiving the exact reply, Gu Chen also looked at Zhang Wenxia and said, "Then please trouble Senior Sister Zhang to help me arrange manpower and tools to dig up the wild grave on the mountain and move the corpse out. "
"Afterwards, I will send it to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau for the forensic team to conduct a test."
"Okay." Feeling that Gu Chen was determined to dig the grave, Zhang Wenxia looked at the village cadre with some embarrassment, and said, "Then I will trouble you to arrange someone to move the corpse out of the mountain. The cost is from our side." Come out, just invite someone."
"Okay, then I'll ask." Hearing this, the village cadres also took out their mobile phones and started to make contact.
After a while of communication, the village cadre hung up the phone, nodded and replied: "A few people are willing to come and help. I will let them go directly to the mountain, but the exact location is not clear."
"It doesn't matter." Seeing that the village cadres didn't know the exact location, Zhang Wenxia hurriedly said again: "Do you know the location of the ancient temple on that mountain?"
"I know." The village cadre said.
"There are our police officers staying there. They should know the exact location. Let them lead the way."
"Besides, I heard that the weeds around that wild grave have been cleaned up, and now it can be found at a glance. It should be on the side of the road leading to the mountain, and it is easy to find." Zhang Wenxia said.
"That's fine." Hearing the words, the village cadre said immediately, "I'll talk to them later."
After the village cadres left, everyone looked at the old lady again.
The old lady has become the key figure in this matter at this moment.
Also seeing Gu Chen staring at her, the old lady said again: "Young man, do you have anything else to ask?"
"About that sponge factory, is it still in operation?" Gu Chen said.
The old lady shook her head: "It has not been opened for a long time now. Since the fire, the owner of the sponge factory has also suffered heavy losses. It has not been opened since then, but the factory building has also been burned to ruins."
"Later, some people wanted to tidy up these ruins and build a new factory building, but some people said that there was a big fire here and people were burned to death, so it is unlucky."
"Anyway, it was just passed on to ten, ten to hundreds. Later, the former site of the sponge factory has been abandoned there, and no one wants to think about it."
"Then what did the owner of the sponge factory do later?" Lu Weiwei was also curious, and hurriedly asked the old lady.
The old lady scratched the back of her head, took a sip of tea, and said:
"I heard that I went to do other business. Anyway, I stumbled here and haven't been back for many years."
"Is he a native of Wangchao Town?" Yuan Shasha also asked.
"That's right, it's in the town." The old lady said.
Thinking of the village cadre, he had already driven away to deal with the wild grave.
Gu Chen felt that it was necessary to send the old lady home, and went to see the ruins of the sponge factory, so she said to Zhang Wenxia, "Senior Sister Zhang, this Zhou Zheng will be detained in the office for now, and we will talk about it when we come back."
"I'll take the old lady back first, and go to the former site of the sponge factory by the way."
"Okay." Seeing that Gu Chen was so active in handling the case, what else could Zhang Wenxia say? Can only fully cooperate.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Wenxia, Gu Chen put the old lady in his car and prepared to take the old lady home.
But before that, the old lady had to take everyone to the sponge factory.
The sponge factory is located on the edge of Wangchao Town, and there is a small road around it.
There are some small factories and workshops nearby.
Among the many buildings, there is a ruined building that is particularly conspicuous.
The ruined building was already dilapidated at this time, and weeds were everywhere around it.
Gu Chen stopped the car steadily, got out of the car and walked into the ruins.
Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha accompanied the old lady.
"Is this the place?" Gu Chen asked.
The old lady nodded silently: "Yes, this place, that sponge factory back then, has been abandoned for many years."
"It used to be quite lively here, but after the fire, it's strange to say that it didn't stop."
"Many factories have also been shut down due to environmental protection issues, and now there are some furniture factories around."
After listening to the old lady's remarks, Gu Chen walked into the central area.
Weeds are overgrown here, the surrounding walls have already collapsed, and several beams are also in dilapidated condition.
"This is the place where people were burned to death." The old lady walked to the edge of the ruins, pointed to a place and said:
"It's here. It used to be a warehouse, which was specially used to store sponges."
"I remember that that incident happened in the winter of that year. Maybe it was because the erhu player had no fixed place to live at night, so he thought of hiding in this sponge warehouse to keep warm?"
"But it was fine at first, and I don't know why it caught fire? That night, Wangchao Town was full of flames. Oh, the dogs around barked all night."
"I also heard the siren of the fire truck, so I got up and followed some neighbors around us to check the situation and see if there is anything we can help."
"That's really pitiful." Hearing what the old lady said, Lu Weiwei also felt a little regretful, pointing to the ruins and said:
"If that is hiding here, once the sponge is ignited, there is almost no chance of survival."
"Let's go." Gu Chen had roughly seen the structure of the building while the few people were talking.
On the left is the warehouse, on the right is the production area, and there is a large yard behind.
There are walls around to block it, but even so, the deceased entered the warehouse so easily. Obviously, the security system of the sponge factory has almost become a decoration.
It is not too difficult for the deceased to look through this low wall.
But the warehouse does not lock the door at night, Gu Chen can only say that the sponge factory has a big heart, and still feels that the sponge is not a valuable thing, so no one steals it.
After bringing the old lady into the car, Gu Chen drove outside for a short time before arriving at a village near Wangchao Town.
The buildings here are exactly the same as other areas in Wangchao Town, they are all big villas.
Every household is an ocean building, and the decoration is very exquisite.
But it was hard for Gu Chen to imagine that the old lady still insisted on going to the sides of the railway to water the vegetables every day under this condition.
"Young man, come in and have a seat. I'll get you some food." The old lady invited everyone into the house as soon as she got out of the car, and then went to the room to get food.
"No need, old lady, we'll leave right away."
Just as Gu Chen was about to leave, he saw a white car driving towards the villa in the distance.
When she heard that Gu Chen was going to leave, the old lady immediately became unhappy, and quickly persuaded her: "Young man, don't leave, the food I give you is all grown by myself."
"Hey old man, what do you think you are being so polite for?" Officer Wang hurried over to help when he saw this.
At this time, Gu Chen was standing at the door, looking at the white car, which slowly stopped beside his own car.
The car turned off and the door opened. A young man in a white T-shirt got out of the car and looked at Gu Chen and the others.
Since Gu Chen and the others were all wearing casual clothes, the man in white thought it was a visitor at home, so he didn't greet Gu Chen and the others directly. He looked at Gu Chen and walked towards the villa, shouting:
"Grandma, are there any guests at home?"
"That's right." While speaking, with the help of Police Officer Wang, the old lady took out many special snacks, put them all on an Eight Immortals table in the living room, and waved to everyone:
"Big guy, come in and have something to eat."
"Brother Gu, let's go in first." Yuan Shasha also reminded.
"Okay." Gu Chen felt that it was necessary to say hello to this family, so he walked into the hall.
At this time, the man in white also walked up to the old lady, got up with a few pieces of sugar cake in his hand, and asked the old lady, "Grandma, who are they?"
"They're the police," said the old lady.
"Police?" Hearing the old lady's words, the middle-aged man's expression was blank, and he looked up and down at Gu Chen and the others, also curious: "I don't think it looks like it."
"Then what do you think we do?" Lu Weiwei also asked him curiously.
"I think you are more like plane models." The man in white said.
"You can really talk." Seeing the man in white with a sweet mouth, Lu Weiwei also grinned, and asked the old lady, "Old lady, is this your grandson?"
"Yes, my grandson." The old lady said with a smile.
The man in white suddenly thought of something, so he quickly looked at the old lady and said, "By the way, grandma, why did you post on Moments? You also posted a selfie? What's going on?"
"Damn!" Seeing her grandson making a big fuss, the old lady waved her hand and said slowly, "Isn't this because you keep posting in Moments? I want to communicate with you too, but I don't know how to do it either."
Glancing at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei beside her, the old lady said again: "So, I met these two on the road, and they taught me."
"So that's the case?" Hearing what grandma said, the man in white also looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and said gratefully:
"Thank you, let me tell you why there are so many dynamics in my grandma's circle of friends today, and the rhythm of being completely dominated by you, so it was all taught by you?"
"Hehe, you're welcome, you're welcome." Lu Weiwei waved her hands and smiled as if she helped the grandparents establish a communication channel.
But looking back, Lu Weiwei said again: "Eh? I only taught your grandma to send selfie feeds today. It seems to be just one feed, right? How could it dominate the screen?"
Hearing Lu Weiwei's remarks, the middle-aged man also took a deep breath, and then opened his mobile phone circle of friends, and said in front of Lu Weiwei:
"See? Soy sauce bottles, cups, and the wall clock on the wall, just these messy things, my grandma posted more than a dozen in one go, and my entire circle of friends is there."
"Pfft!" Lu Weiwei couldn't help holding back her laughter when she saw that the circle of friends of the old age was not taking the usual path:
"So your grandma is so interesting?"
"Hey, I don't know what to post? So I took some pictures at home and sent them to Moments."
"Hey, I really didn't expect that my first soy sauce bottle's Moments post got 5 likes and comments."
Hearing what grandma said, the man in white also raised his forehead and said, "Didn't you startle me? Did you think something happened at home? I didn't even bother to participate in the blueberry picking festival, so I just ran home to watch it." Look."
"It's time to take a look at this again. Wouldn't you take pictures of all your old gold and silver jewelry and send them to Moments?"
"Uh……"
Feeling that her grandson seemed unhappy, the old lady immediately pursed her lips, and said in displeasure:
"Usually you are all alone, and you don't know how to contact me often. I'm bored."
"After your grandfather passed away, I was guarding such a big house by myself. My usual social activities were just those old women next door. How boring."
"If you don't like the dynamics of Moments sent by grandma, then you can teach me how to post this Moments?"
"Damn, this..." Feeling a bit speechless, the man in white waved his hand, and said indifferently, "Okay, what do you like to post? Can I give you a thumbs up for every post?"
"Okay, as long as you talk to me often, you can do whatever you want." Seeing that her grandson seemed to start caring about herself, the old lady felt very happy.
But Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha who were standing aside knew it all.
Where does the old lady know how to post in Moments? I just want my grandson to communicate with me more.
It can also be seen that the old lady is indeed in a hurry, living alone in such a big villa, and going outside to water and grow vegetables every day, it feels like it is purely a boring life.
Gu Chen looked down at his watch, then raised his head and said, "Old lady, it's getting late, we have to go back quickly, thank you for your hospitality."
"Let's go? Why don't you sit down for a while?" Seeing that the house is so lively today, the old lady originally wanted to keep everyone here for dinner.
But Gu Chen and the others still kindly declined on the grounds that they were busy with work.
Seeing that everyone was going to leave, the old lady didn't ask any more at this moment, but grabbed a few handfuls of peanuts and melon seeds from the fruit plate on the table, and stuffed them into everyone's pockets.
After stuffing everyone's pockets to the brim, she was willing to let everyone go.
On the way back to the police station in Wangchao Town, Lu Weiwei laughed and said, "This old lady is so interesting. You can take a picture of a bottle of soy sauce and send it to Moments. It shows how boring she is?"
"For the elderly, aren't the things they come into contact with the most are daily necessities? I guess later, she will definitely take a picture of the toilet paper in the toilet and post it on Moments." Police Officer Wang said.
"Pfft! Brother Wang, don't be funny." Yuan Shasha, who was sitting by the side, also suppressed her laughter.
I felt that the old lady would really do this after Officer Wang said that.
By the time we returned to Wangchao Town, it was already around 5 pm.
Since there is no news about the people digging up the mountain, everyone can only sit in the police station of Wangchao Town and wait for a while.
The time came to 5:30.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Zhang Wenxia asked enthusiastically, "Why don't you stay here for dinner? I'm about to get off work, how about inviting you to have dinner at home?"
"Oh, how embarrassing this is?" Police officer Wang said duplicity, but he kept thinking in his heart whether he could try Zhang Wenxia's craftsmanship again.
I think that during the training camp, Zhang Wenxia, who joined the police in the same year, relied on her superb cooking skills to reap the taste buds of all the male police officers at that time.
Police Officer Wang has been obsessed with Zhang Wenxia's cooking skills ever since that time.
During the dinner party, I once suggested that if Zhang Wenxia didn't become a policeman, she could open a restaurant with her superb cooking skills.
"What? Don't give face?" Zhang Wenxia also raised her eyebrows and asked.
Police officer Wang looked at Gu Chen, pretending to be embarrassed, and said, "Look, your senior sister Zhang is so enthusiastic, or else, I think..."
Before Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Zhang Wenxia's cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting Officer Wang's speech directly.
Zhang Wenxia reached out her hand to signal for herself to answer the phone, and quickly pressed the answer button: "Hello, what?"
Glancing back at Gu Chen and the others, Zhang Wenxia's face obviously became ugly, so she continued to answer the channel: "Are you sure?"
It was only after hearing the other party's response that Zhang Wenxia put away the phone, and said to Gu Chen and the others in wonder, "It's strange, the people who went up the mountain said that the wild grave is empty."
"empty?"
When Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha heard the words, they all spoke in unison, which felt a bit inconceivable.
"That's right." Zhang Wenxia also took a deep breath, and then said slowly:
"They said that when they dug up the field grave, they found a coffin, but the coffin lid seemed to be loose."
"So, they opened the lid of the coffin and found that you were empty, and there were no corpses at all."
"Just let them make a video call." Gu Chen said.
"Okay." Seeing that there was a new problem in the situation, Zhang Wenxia picked up the phone again and reminded: "Let me make a video call for you, we need to check the situation on the scene."
Seeing that the other party agreed, Zhang Wenxia hung up the phone.
Later, Zhang Wenxia found the WeChat video call function and dialed it again.
At this moment, the implementation picture on the mountain suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone immediately gathered around.
At this moment, the village cadre who brought people there just now also explained to the screen: "Officer Zhang, our excavation work has ended, and only an empty coffin was dug."
"Give me a shot." Zhang Wenxia said.
"Okay, look." Hearing Zhang Wenxia's speech, the village cadre immediately pointed the camera at the location of the wild grave.
At this moment, a police officer, but several other members of the public were standing on one side with tools.
But the camera given by the village cadres shows that an open coffin is placed in it at this time.
However, the inside is now empty, and it is almost ridiculously clean.
Gu Chen also asked curiously: "Is there nothing left inside?"
"No." The village cadre shook his head, and said involuntarily, "It's strange to say that it looks like it has been cleaned by someone, and there is no debris at all."
"That's why when we excavated just now, when we opened the lid of the coffin, some soil leaked in, that's all."
"No." Lu Weiwei scratched the back of her head and said in a daze:
"This Yuan Jialiang has been sweeping the tomb here for so long, is it an empty tomb?"
"Or, the corpse in this coffin has been transferred to another place by Yuan Jialiang?"
"After all, Yuan Jialiang leaves early and returns late every day. From the Wangchao Town Hotel, he walks along the small road, along the railway to the foot of the mountain, and sacrifices on the mountain. At night, the sun sets and he returns home."
"It takes 10 days to go back and forth like this, and 10 days is enough for him to clean up the corpses in this coffin."
"That's right." Yuan Shasha echoed Lu Weiwei's analysis:
"Before, I always felt that this Yuan Jialiang was sneaky and active on the mountain. Although Zhou Zheng said that he was offering sacrifices to wild tombs, why do I feel that he is robbing tombs?"
"What's going on here?" Police Officer Wang at the side was also anxious at the moment.
You know, now Zhao Guozhi has issued a military order, requiring the criminal investigation team to solve the case as soon as possible and find the mysterious person in Wangchao Town.
But I just got some new clues on my side, and soon the suspect was killed.
But I originally thought that the people who buried the body back then at least did not cremate the body, and could bring the body back for testing to match Yuan Jialiang's body to see if there is some connection between the two.
But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Everything seems to be a matter of course, especially the polymerase chain reaction technology proposed by Gu Chen, which may be able to be applied.
Maybe the cause of death of that deceased person could be connected with Yuan Jialiang's death now.
But now everything seems impossible.
Therefore, Police Officer Wang also said angrily: "Hurry up and look around to see if there is anything else nearby?"
"If the body was dug up, there should be many traces left at the scene."
"Officer Wang, we've already looked around here." Seeing that Officer Wang was also emotional at the moment, the village cadre who was holding a mobile phone for a video call also said solemnly:
"We roughly checked the nearby area and found nothing related to the corpse."
"The inspection can't be done in a general way." Just as the village cadre finished speaking, Gu Chen continued to the screen in his hand:
"If someone opens the coffin and transports the charred corpse away, it will definitely not be transported down the mountain openly, but the corpse will be hidden."
"Although we still don't know why this person took the body away, Yuan Jialiang has been killed, which means that the murderer is still nearby."
"There will be other traces at the scene, there will be."
"Officer Gu." Seeing Gu Chen's affirmation, the village cadres were a little confused: "We are just ordinary people, and we don't understand these things at all. We have checked and checked, and there is indeed no abnormality found around."
"Of course, maybe there is, but we are not professionals after all, and we don't know what's wrong. We only know that these people want to leave now and go back to eat."
"Let's do this." Seeing that the village cadres were also a little embarrassed, Gu Chen quickly said, "You send people to stay at the scene, and we'll come over right away."
"As for the other workers in charge of excavation, let them wait a moment, we will bring food, maybe there is still a place for them."
"This……"
Seeing that Gu Chen wanted to keep everyone on the mountain, the village cadre was a little embarrassed, but he still reluctantly agreed:
"That's fine. The sun is about to set now. By then, it will be pitch black here, which is quite scary. I can't guarantee that these people will be willing to stay here."
"I know, I'll go buy food immediately and deliver it here." Gu Chen said.
After arguing with the village cadres who were excavating at the site, they finally persuaded the village cadres to keep these people at the site.
On the other side, Gu Chen handed over the job of buying meals to Yuan Shasha, and he, together with Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Zhang Wenxia, brought the relevant supporting tools, and then prepared to take the vehicle to the scene of the incident.
Because taking the railway is easy to consume time, and Zhang Wenxia knows that another shortcut is to drive to the direction of the railway track near the foot of the mountain.
Get off at the other end, cross the rails, and walk up the mountain. The time is greatly reduced.
After explaining the logistics tasks to Yuan Shasha, Gu Chen called the criminal investigation team and asked the criminal investigation team to transfer personnel to come to Wangchao Town for support, and edited all the coordinates and routes with the tip of the satellite map and sent them to everyone .
With a sense of urgency, everyone ran all the way, and finally arrived at the scene of the incident at around 6:50 p.m.
Seeing everyone sitting on one side, smoking and chatting, Gu Chen directly found the policeman from Wangchao Town who was staying on the mountain, and asked him, "What's going on at the scene?"
"We dug up the field grave, but the coffin was empty," said the third-level superintendent.
"Did you find any other abnormalities around?" Gu Chen asked again.
The third-level superintendent looked around, shook his head, and said in denial:
"That's not the case. It looks like it's in a hurry. All kinds of weeds have been cleared around this cemetery."
"Has the weeds been cleared?" Gu Chen was reminded by this, and suddenly remembered that Yuan Jialiang had been coming here in the past 10 days, leaving early and returning late.
Looking at the soil on the ground again, Gu Chen suddenly realized: "That's right, Yuan Jialiang wasn't sweeping the tomb to fill the soil at all, he might be digging the tomb and using the tomb sweeping as a cover."
"Or, he was instigated by someone to come here to visit the grave, but he was suddenly plotted against?"
"Could it be that the murderer led him to visit the grave, and after digging out the body, killed Yuan Jialiang?" Lu Weiwei also expressed her own opinion.
Gu Chen nodded slightly: "It's entirely possible."
He turned his head to look at Police Officer Wang beside him. At this time, Police Officer Wang and Zhang Wenxia were on the scene comforting everyone's emotions.
Those people who came to help dig the grave immediately complained.
"I said Officer Zhang, when can we leave? It's almost dark."
"Yes, Officer Zhang, don't you want to bring food? What about this meal? You can't work hungry, right?"
"That's right. Although your police station paid us to work, the coffin is empty now. Should we carry the empty coffin down the mountain? Or put the coffin here and give it to you?"
...
Seeing that everyone was excited, and even felt unwilling to wait, Zhang Wenxia also looked helpless, and continued to comfort her with her personality charm:
"Please keep calm. The case we are investigating now is very important, and the suspect we have been investigating was murdered in the ancient temple today."
"Now, the murderer is still missing, so we must investigate everything that the suspect did before his death. Please do yourself a favor and don't leave."
"Sura Martial God"
"Our people are already preparing dinner for everyone, and it will be delivered later, and everyone will have dinner on the mountain..."
Because Zhang Wenxia has a good relationship with the local people in Wangchao Town, although everyone has complaints in their hearts, they all give Zhang Wenxia face.
A strong man took the lead in expressing his opinion: "That's fine, I help your police handle the case, and it is also the duty of every citizen of us."
"Besides, if you pay us to do the work, then you have to give your employer an explanation, okay, then we'll wait."
Also driven by this strong man, the others stopped talking about leaving.
Zhang Wenxia clasped her hands together, bowed to the on-site staff a few times, and said gratefully: "Then thank you all, by the way, I brought all the police flashlights from our Wangchao Town Police Station. Take the light."
After the voice fell, Zhang Wenxia opened the backpack and began to distribute flashlights to everyone.
Gu Chen also took off the backpack, took out some police equipment from the middle, and distributed them to Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei.
Lu Weiwei took an old baton and swung it downwards, still a little stuttered, and couldn't help complaining: "Senior Sister Zhang, your police equipment here is not good enough."
"Oh, let's just use it. We don't have many police weapons here, but it should be more than enough to deal with this murderer, unless he doesn't carry offensive weapons."
"It's hard to say." Seeing that Zhang Wenxia was too optimistic, Police Officer Wang also reminded in his ear:
"Zhang Wenxia, don't be careless. The other party is a murderer. This kind of person is often very cunning and extremely dangerous."
Pressing his left hand, Police Officer Wang said again: "But don't worry, we have already told the criminal investigation team to come over from the Furong sub-bureau for support."
"At that time, we will have a complete staff, and we can search the scene and find clues."
"That's good." Seeing that Police Officer Wang was confident, Zhang Wenxia said in her heart, then I don't care.
...
...
7:40 p.m.
Seeing that there was still light in the sky, Yuan Shasha at the foot of the mountain had already led a team of people, carrying all kinds of equipment and lunch boxes, to meet up in a hurry.
When they arrived at the scene, Gu Chen had already led the crowd to search around the cemetery.
At this time, everyone was very hungry. After receiving the dinner brought by Yuan Shasha, they sat under the tree and gorged themselves.
"Senior Brother Gu." Ji Zhe also walked up to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen looked behind Ji Zhe and asked him, "How many people are you here this time?"
"22 people." Ji Zhe said.
"Did you bring all the night search equipment?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Yeah." Wu Xiaofeng walked over from another place, threw one of the tactical vests to Gu Chen, and said:
"In terms of equipment, it is also prepared according to your requirements. This is yours."
Putting on the tactical vest, Gu Chen took the FAST tactical helmet from Wu Xiaofeng's other hand, and instantly installed his strong flashlight in the slot on the helmet.
Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang were also dressed in an instant.
In an instant, more than 20 policemen in full armor had assembled in an instant.
At Gu Chen's request, everyone lined up neatly.
Gu Chen didn't care about eating, so he stood on a high ground and reminded everyone, "Tell me."
"Wow." The people in line immediately put on straddling postures.
Gu Chen continued: "I asked you to come over to support me, and I will introduce the situation to you again."
"At present, we have found a suspicious man from Hubei Province in Wangchao Town."
"This man came to Wangchao Town 10 days ago and opened a room at the Wangchao Town Hotel, where he stayed for more than ten days."
"But according to our investigation, he didn't come here to participate in the 4th Blueberry Picking Festival in Wangchao Town, Jiangnan Lake District. Instead, he left early and returned late every day, and ran to this mountain and this cemetery to worship."
Seeing that everyone was listening seriously, Gu Chen took a deep breath and continued:
"Later, based on the clues, we came here Zhou Zhou, came to the foot of the mountain, and met Zhou Zheng who lived in seclusion here."
"But when Zhou Zheng took us to his residence on the mountain, this suspicious man named Yuan Jialiang suddenly died in his bedroom."
"As for the corpse, we have already had it taken away by the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau. What I have to do now is to find him and sacrifice it to a wild grave."
"Because I heard from an informed village name, a foreigner was buried under this wild grave. Fifteen years ago, he hid in the warehouse of a sponge factory in Wangchao Town and burned along with the fire."
Seeing everyone looking at each other, Gu Chen also sniffed, then walked back and forth in front of the crowd, and said:
"Because the identity of this foreigner is unknown, the locals did not choose to see the body burned, but kept it intact, hoping that his family members would take away the remains of the body."
"But 15 years have passed, and no one has ever remembered that there is still a tomb here until the arrival of this Yuan Jialiang."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried his best to calm down, and then said:
"But, this Yuan Jialiang, how did he know that there is a wild tomb on this mountain? What is his purpose of coming here to sacrifice?"
"Could he be the culprit who dug up the corpse?"
Shaking his head, Gu Chen also asked himself and answered: "The current situation, because of Yuan Jialiang's death, the situation on the scene has become complicated."
"So I suspect that the body that was originally placed in the coffin may have been moved, but it may be in the mountains and forests."
"In addition, the murderer may still be hiding here. Everyone must be more careful while searching for clues."
Sweeping his eyes from left to right, Gu Chen said again: "I will divide you into several groups now, each group of 3 people, you can form a team freely, you must ensure that the members of each team do not stand alone, because the dark night in the forest , is full of various dangers, do you understand?"
"clear!"
After listening to Gu Chen's explanation here for a long time, everyone should understand the specific situation here.
Thinking that Yuan Jialiang had been killed, everyone was somewhat uncertain.
After all, according to Gu Chen's intention, he wanted to find the charred corpse that had disappeared on this mountain.
But judging from the situation at the scene, how difficult is it to find this thing?
It feels like finding a needle in a haystack.
What's more, the sky is getting darker now, and after the sun goes down, the whole jungle will be dark on one side.
At that time, everyone will need to use auxiliary lights to carry out search operations.
Looking at Gu Chen explaining the situation to the team on the other side of the hill, the enthusiastic villagers sitting in another place also curiously asked the village officials: "Village chief, this young man is quite young, he seems to be an official?"
"Yes." The village cadre, who was eating the boxed lunch in his hand, also nodded silently, and said involuntarily:
"It seems to be the captain of the criminal investigation team. Anyway, he is quite powerful."
"Then, shall we move this coffin down the mountain later?" Another villager said.
The village chief nodded: "That's for sure, and there's also the filling work here, anyway, I'm busy tonight."
"Ugh!"
Seeing that everyone's expressions were relaxed, a timid village name immediately came to everyone's side and said:
"But, wasn't the suspect killed at the other end of the ancient temple? Who do you think did it?"
"Who knows?" Hearing this man's sudden question, the other man also said angrily.
Another man reminded: "Hey, do you think the murderer is still hiding on this mountain? Including the charred corpse, is it also hidden by the murderer?"
"That's for sure. If the police ask us to cooperate with the search later, it's best not to leave alone. Maybe you will meet the murderer."
"Yes." Hearing what the people around him said, the village chief who had already finished his dinner wrapped the lunch box and tied the plastic bag, and then reminded everyone:
"Especially for those who want to go to the toilet, everyone must stay close together, so as not to give the murderer an opportunity."

And these enthusiastic people responsible for digging the coffin were also arranged into two parts.
One of the parts is responsible for staying near the empty coffin to prevent others from approaching.
The other part followed the police to find the charred corpse and the murderer.
All of a sudden, many lights lit up around the entire wild graveyard.
Also at this time, Ji Zhe and Wu Xiaofeng quickly opened a modular bracket equipment, and installed all the parts in a very short time.
With constant adjustments, a temporary stand with a height of more than ten meters was assumed by everyone in an instant, and a solar lamp was hung on the top of the stand.
Powered by the battery in the base, it instantly illuminates the surrounding area like daytime.
