Chapter 170 The Last Victim
As Shen Ke spoke, her phone suddenly lit up, "Qi Huan, have you found it?"
She said, putting the phone away.
Qi Huan's voice came over there with some lag, "No, I called the phone number you sent, but I didn't hear any response. So far, we have searched the basements of all villas, and we have not found the third one. Five victims."
The clues they found will be synchronized in the small group of the special case team. Currently, four victims have been found, and the last one, Wang Hu, who corresponds to "Tu", is left.
So Qi Huan over there immediately changed the direction of his search, looking specifically for some basements with too new earth colors.
Wang Hu's phone number couldn't be dialed, and Zhao Xiaomeng also contacted their family and got the exact news that he didn't come home after leaving yesterday.
Shen Ke hung up the phone, and Chen Mo pondered for a moment, "Sou Shan!"
The mountain was not big, so everyone walked around and searched the area almost like a carpet, but could not find any suspicious traces.
The sun was already very high now, and it was already noon.
"If the body was dug and buried, and the word "soil" was used, then the color of the new soil just dug last night should be very obvious, but we have searched all over the place around here and still can't find it."
Li Yuan said, scratched his head, and looked at Shen Ke, "There's something wrong. I feel like the murderer didn't actually want us to find the body. He did so much, wasn't it just for us to see?"
"The first deceased, Zhou Juncheng, was found in the ditch next to the curb, the second, Xie Ru, was in the fireplace of the villa, the third, Gao Jiajun, was in his own car, and the fourth, Li Xinmei, was in the coffin. Not even a cover..."
"Even if you don't analyze Shen Ke, we are like old cows plowing the field, turning this place upside down, sooner or later we will find these four victims. But why can't we find the fifth one?"
Shen Ke's eyelids twitched, why should Lao Niu plow the land?
Why don't you say you foolish old man moved mountains and just flattened this place? You can always find something.
However, what Li Yuan said was correct. This is very strange. The murderer had no intention of hiding it and did not clean up the scene.
This horrific technique was deliberately done to show the police. What did the murderer want to express?
Shen Ke thought and murmured, "Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, gold is the car, wood is the coffin, water is the ditch, fire is the fireplace, earth..."
As she spoke, she looked in the direction where she found Li Xinmei, and suddenly looked at the assembled special case team, "What if the ditch is not water? What if the ditch is soil?"
Over there, Qi Huan wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly realized, "The ditch was abandoned after the route was changed. Usually there is no water passing through it and it is always dry. The body is in the ditch, surrounded by soil on three sides. No, there is another one above it. A small bridge can also be regarded as earth and stone."
"So, it should be surrounded by soil. But it rained yesterday evening and there was water in the ditch, so we were disturbed. We saw water and then the ditch again, so we naturally thought This answers the question."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the sound of water on the mountainside.
"Yes, our search direction may be wrong. It's my fault for being preconceived." Shen Ke said, taking the lead to walk towards the water. "If the first victim Zhou Juncheng corresponds to soil, then the remaining The king tiger below is water."
"We dug three feet into the ground but couldn't find it, because it is possible that he is not in the soil at all, but in the water."
Shen Ke admitted her mistake without hesitation. When she saw the coffin, an idea flashed in her mind, but she failed to grasp the point. It is also in the soil. If there is a coffin, it is wood, and if there is no coffin, it is soil.
The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the wisdom left by the predecessors. They are not single, but are integrated and related to each other.
Everyone who had looked tired before suddenly became energized again after hearing this. Chen Mo came over and patted Shen Ke on the shoulder, "What's your fault? You're the only one with a head. We all have heads on our necks." Is it a pumpkin?”
Shen Ke stared at Chen Mo's head again and again in confusion, which made Chen Mo's scalp numb.
"Is there something wrong? Is there bird poop on my forehead?"
Shen Ke shook his head, "Why do you say that the thing growing on your neck is pumpkin, not winter melon or watermelon?"
"Pumpkins are flat, winter melons are long, and watermelons are round. I think it would be more accurate to say that the one growing on your neck is a winter melon."
Chen Mo twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, "Really? Why didn't you say it was a potato."
He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. Why did he discuss such agricultural issues with Shen Ke? They were policemen, not melon sellers in the vegetable market.
"Well, potatoes are more appropriate, with yellower skin and spots."
Chen Mo closed his mouth tightly and told you to continue!
When you look at her talking so seriously, you feel embarrassed to scold her! What a sincere look in her eyes!
While they were talking, several people had already arrived at the waterside. There was a small river here, and the water in the ditch flowed from here. Among the dense wild mountain grapevines, the river gurgled. Because of the rain, the river water was very turbid, with a tinge of water. Silt.
"Look there, there is a little red, blown by the wind, over there on the vines, follow me!"
Shen Ke listened to Li Yuan's words and tried his best to open his eyes wide. Where is the red?
"Are you some kind of gourd boy? Are you clairvoyant and clairvoyant?"
Li Yuan laughed and said, "We are a special case team, not a food basket. My grandfather and I have been holding quick-acting heart-saving pills every day. If there are six more, what a guy!"
As he spoke, he walked quickly, and everyone followed him. After walking a few steps, the entire river appeared in front of them.
Red ropes were wrapped around several grape vines. A man's body was pulled and pulled by the messy red ropes, like a prey preyed by a spider. Half of his body was soaked in the water.
His head was tilted upward, with a candle in his mouth, but the candle seemed to be extinguished without much burning, so the wax oil did not cover his face, and the river water flowing down from above kept blowing on his face. Corpse.
"It's Wang Hu, the fifth victim." Shen Ke said.
The red rope that Li Yuan saw at first was probably the little bit of red that was wrapped around the grapevine and showed through the dense branches and leaves.
Chen Mo put his hands on his hips and breathed heavily, "Five people died in one night, what's the point of deep hatred? There is no airtight wall in the world. Once this case spreads, I'm afraid Nanjiang will cause panic."
"We must solve the case as soon as possible and catch the murderer!"
