Chapter 2170

Seeing that someone in the timber market knew Zhang Dezhi, the prodigal son, Gu Chen and the others were overjoyed.

So Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked again: "Then let me ask you, has Zhang Dezhi been with you recently, and has he rented any vehicles?"

"Rental car?" Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the man held his chin in thought for a moment.

After a few seconds, he hesitated and said: "It seems to be there, I remember, a week ago, I saw this guy driving a small truck at night with a wood chipper behind him. "

"A wood chipper?"

When hearing this machine, everyone looked at each other instinctively, and everyone knew it.

Obviously, Zhang Dezhi's intention of renting the wood chipper is definitely not as simple as crushing wood.

Gu Chen hurriedly asked the man again: "Then do you know what that wood chipper looks like?"

"I know that there are mainly two types of wood chippers in our timber market. One is the one with its own wheels, which is more convenient to drag."

"It's usually a small truck that can be towed away."

"There is another kind, that is, the fixed type without wheels, which is usually transported to a fixed area by a crane, and then worked in a fixed area."

"As for Zhang Dezhi, that night, I remember he was driving a pickup truck with a wood chipper behind him."

"Then what is he going to do?" Yuan Shasha became interested when she heard the words.

The man shook his head: "I don't know about that."

"Then how can you be sure that that person is Zhang Dezhi? After all, it's late at night, are you sure you read it right?" Police Officer Wang asked.

"Harmful! You can't make a mistake." Seeing that Police Officer Wang didn't quite believe it, Zhang Dezhi waved his hand and continued to explain:

"Because Zhang Dezhi, oh, we also call him Zhang Dezi, that guy is a prodigal son, and he is well-known in the surrounding area."

"I don't usually work, but when I suddenly appeared near the timber market that night, I felt quite strange, so I took a second look."

"In addition, at night in the timber market, it is usually done lifting and unloading operations, and no one will operate the wood chipper."

"So I feel like he's pulling the wood chipper somewhere."

"Then where did you see him pull the wood chipper?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked after hearing this.

The man continued to think about it, and then said: "It seems to be heading towards the reservoir?"

"Because I happened to come out of the toilet that night, and since my colleague was still inside, after I washed my hands, I sat on the broken wall at the other end of the toilet and smoked a cigarette."

"But I just happened to see that Zhang Dezi was driving a wood chipper and walking directly towards the reservoir."

"At that time, I was still wondering, this guy went to the direction of the reservoir, is there any wood on the other side?"

"After all, wood usually doesn't know where the other side is, and I don't know what to do?"

Listening to the man's narration, Gu Chen remembered it in his heart, and asked again: "Then do you know whose family owned the pickup truck and wood chipper he rented that night?"

"Crane Boss Hu." Afraid that Gu Chen didn't understand, the man hurriedly explained:

"Crane Hu, his classic car is his own, but it is attached to a store with a machinery rental stall for the convenience of picking up jobs."

"And on our side, there is a wood chipper, and it is a wood chipper with wheels. It should be the only one in his family."

"So that's the case?" Hearing what the man said, Gu Chen continued to ask for a general direction, then thanked him, and hurriedly led everyone to continue the investigation.

It's still the courtyard of the machinery storage area, but this time the stalls are on the other side.

The door is still open for business at night. A tall and thin man is sitting at his desk playing with his mobile phone.

Seeing Gu Chen and the others walk in, the tall and thin man immediately stood up and asked curiously, "You..."

"We are from the Furong Sub-bureau." Gu Chen showed his police ID, and then said, "I have a question for you."

"Uh, you... tell me." Seeing Gu Chen and the others rushing over, the tall and thin man knew very well that he must have something important to discuss with him.

Gu Chen also got straight to the point, and said straightforwardly: "Let me ask you, a week ago, did you rent a pickup truck and a wood chipper for Zhang Dezhi in a nearby village at night?"

"Zhang Dezhi? A week ago?" After thinking for a while, the tall and thin man looked puzzled.

Then he flicked his fingers and continued: "I don't know about this, maybe I wasn't on duty that night, but I can check it for you."

"Then it's time to work." Lu Weiwei said.

"You're welcome." The man was also very kind, and immediately opened the desk drawer, took out a stack of ledgers, and opened the date to check.

Not long after, the man nodded to confirm: "Yes, the time was a week ago, because it was rented around 10 pm, and the renter... yes, Zhang Dezhi."

Seeing that it has been confirmed here, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, at least it shows that Zhang Dezhi has the tools to destroy the corpse.

And according to the man's explanation just now, Gu Chen also knew very well that Zhang Dezhi drove directly to the direction of the reservoir by dragging the wood chipper.

Thinking of the tools that Zhang Dezhi rented, Gu Chen could guess that Zhang Dezhi was going to use a wood chipper to break his wife's body into several pieces, and then throw it into the reservoir, trying to make the body disappear without anyone noticing. clean up.

Lu Weiwei on the side hurriedly asked, "Which wood chipper is it?"

"Uh, let me take a look." Seeing Lu Weiwei's urgency, the tall and thin man continued to check the registration information, and quickly replied:

"I know which one it is, I'll take you there to have a look."

After the words fell, the man put the form on the table, got up and walked to the door.

Afterwards, he took everyone to the machinery display area.

Not long after, everyone discovered that a wood chipper with wheels appeared in front of them at this moment.

It was a bigger machine, and Gu Chen and the others circled around the machine.

Officer Wang also couldn't help but sighed: "This machine is big enough, is it mainly broken wood?"

"That's needless to say." Seeing that Police Officer Wang didn't understand machinery, the tall and thin man also took the initiative to explain:

"This wood chipper is very powerful. The wood goes in and the sawdust comes out."

"That is to say, whether it's wood or other objects, if you throw it in, it will basically be broken into countless small pieces, right?" Yuan Shasha also asked curiously based on the actual situation.

The tall and thin man also snorted and said, "Comrade policewoman, you are right."

"A wood chipper, that's the main function. It's for crushing wood."

"But you can think of it this way. An object as strong as wood can be broken into countless small pieces. If other things are thrown into it, unless it is far stronger than wood, it can be broken into several small pieces."

"Then if a pig is thrown into it, can it be broken into several small pieces?" Officer Wang also gave an example.

But this said, the tall and thin man was taken aback for a moment.

He looked at Police Officer Wang with a strange look, and said inexplicably: "I said, Comrade Police, why do you have such a unique idea? Why do you want to smash a pig?"

"Oh, I'm just making an analogy, so you can tell me if you can?" Officer Wang didn't want the man to ask too many questions, so he continued to respond perfunctorily.

The tall and thin man nodded silently: "Yes, pork is so soft, if you throw it in, it will be broken into many pieces of meat."

"Bones and everything will be broken, and this kind of wood chipper is very powerful. If you throw it in, the pieces of meat will fly five or six meters away from the exit."

"So scary?" Hearing what the man said, Lu Weiwei had already imagined the scene where Zhang Dezhi threw his wife into the wood chipper, and then turned into countless pieces and flew out of the wood chipper.

Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but shudder.

Gu Chen also took a deep breath, and continued to circle around the wood chipper, checking the main parts of the wood chipper.

Seeing that the various parts of the wood chipper were already covered with wood debris, Gu Chen curiously asked:

"By the way, when did Zhang Dezhi return the wood chipper?"

"Uh, the next morning, right?" the man said, "The records say that the wood chipper and the pickup truck were returned together the next morning."

"Because, the leases here are all timed. If you run out early and return them early, you can save a lot of money."

"Then when you came back, did you find that there were some things left on the wood chipper, such as... blood stains or something?"

In order to vividly describe the process of dismembering the corpse, Police Officer Wang deliberately hinted wildly.

But the tall and thin man had a dazed look on his face, and asked weakly: "May I ask, why do you have such strange thoughts?"

"Uh... because Zhang Dezhi is very likely to use the high-power wood shredder that you rented to shred some meat products." Yuan Shasha also gave a reason.

But when the man heard the explanation, he immediately laughed and said, "Haha, comrade policewoman, don't you stop teasing me, minced meat?"

"For minced meat, you can use the kind of meat shredder you use at home. This is a high-power wood shredder for shredding wood."

"If it is said that Zhang Dezhi rented a big machine like ours just to mince meat, wouldn't he be at a loss?"

"It's like... How should I put it?" He also scratched his chin beard with his fingers, and the tall and thin man also gave an example:

"It's like hitting a sparrow with a cannon. It's overkill."

"Okay." I also saw a tall and thin man, who seemed to have completely missed everyone's understanding, so Yuan Shasha hurriedly said:

"Then tell me, when he returned the wood chipper that day, did there appear to be any obvious traces of blood?"

"Uh...let me think about it." The feeling was also inexplicable, but considering the rental time on the ledger, the tall and thin man also recalled and said:

"I remember, that night, when leasing machines and vehicles, it was my colleague who went through the formalities."

"But my colleague works the evening shift. During the day, that is, early in the morning, I came to take over the shift. I was not at the scene when the machine was received, but I arrived not long ago."

"According to the usual practice, the machine was sent back, and I went to check it. What impressed me at the time was that this wood chipper seemed to have been cleaned."

"Cleaning?" Hearing such a reply, Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly asked again:

"You mean, the chipper was cleaned?"

"Well, it is like this, because it looks quite new." The tall and thin man said.

Gu Chen thought for a moment, then quickly asked: "The wood chipper has been cleaned, what about the pickup truck? Has the pickup truck been cleaned?"

"Yes." The tall and thin man continued to nod and replied:

"When I received it, I was quite puzzled. I thought that Zhang Dezi was quite polite."

"I rented our machine, and he would clean it before sending it back. I don't think he looks like the prodigal son that the people around him say."

"After all, you also know that we rent machines here, who has the time to help you clean them? Which ones don't just drag them back to you after they are used up."

"Because we count time here, if you help us clean it yourself, it will definitely take a lot of time."

"And for leasing owners, time is money, and everyone is trying to save costs, so no one will help us clean the machine."

"However, the wood chipper and pickup truck that day were indeed cleaned, I'm sure of that."

"It is for this reason that I am quite impressed with that matter."

"Have you cleaned the machine? Transported the wood chipper to the direction of the reservoir?" Gu Chen pieced together all kinds of clues based on what the tall, thin man said and the man before him.

It was unexpectedly discovered that these situations can be pieced together into one goal, which is the direction of the reservoir.

As for Zhang Dezhi's cleaning machine, he rented it at night. It is conceivable that Zhang Dezhi must have rented the machine and vehicles at the timber market under the cover of night after murdering his wife.

Then, without anyone noticing, the corpse was transported to the direction of the reservoir, then broken into several small pieces, and discarded in the reservoir.

In this way, even if it is necessary to find the body of Zhang Dezhi's wife, it will be extremely difficult.

The corpses that were broken into several pieces were thrown into the reservoir and were likely to be eaten by fish in the water.

In doing so, the thread will be interrupted.

But Gu Chen is also very clear that as long as it can be proved that some fragments of Zhang Dezhi's wife's body can be found in the reservoir, it can prove the fact that Zhang Dezhi killed his wife, dismembered his body and threw it away.

But Gu Chen also knew that it would be a huge challenge to fish for corpses in such a large reservoir.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Gu Chen thanked him, and immediately led everyone towards the toilet.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei followed closely behind.

Police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also looked at each other, and then followed, climbed over the damaged wall together, and came to the outer edge of the wall.

"Gu Chen, are you going to the direction of the reservoir?" Officer Wang asked.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "Didn't you listen to those people just now? Zhang Dezhi rented a wood chipper and went to the direction of the reservoir."

"I'm sure that he must have gone to the direction of the reservoir to dismember the body, and then threw the body fragments into the reservoir."

"In this way, we can only go to the other side of the reservoir to find clues."

"Damn it." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Yuan Shasha couldn't believe it: "This guy Zhang Dezhi must be crazy."
