Chapter 28
Zhang Guodong was so tired that he wanted to wait until he received the county leaders before going back to sleep, but finally he couldn't hold on, so he went back to the office to rest and leave Wu Ge at the scene.
After Wu Ge accompanied the fire brigade to handle the scene, he received the criminal police team sent by the county instead of Zhang Guodong.
The police officer who led the team was named Li Ruiming, who was the chief of the Criminal Investigation Section of the County Public Security Bureau. He was in his thirties and was handsome.
Wu Ge originally had no idea how to introduce himself to the other party due to his identity.
But what Wu Ge didn't expect was that the other party had known Wu Ge's special identity for a long time, and was not surprised that Wu Ge temporarily took over Zhang Guodong in charge, and had no objection.
Wu Ge briefly introduced the case to Li Ruiming. Li Ruiming looked at the previous on-site evidence collection and the transcripts of the scientific research team to get a preliminary understanding of the case.
Li Ruiming was also incredible about the serial murder case that occurred in Muren Township, Wutu.
"I have understood the general situation now. Judging from the current situation, I think the focus of this case should be on the wizard Pumu. We should hurry up and find out the whereabouts of Pumu. Our Wutu Muren has limited police force. I heard that Xiao Zhang has been withstanding for three days in a row, but it is really difficult for him." Li Ruiming said.
Wu Ge found that Li Ruiming looked about 35 or 36 years old, but he spoke in an old-fashioned manner. He looked very calm and had a temperament that was not consistent with his age.
At present, Zhang Guodong and Xia Forensic Medical Doctor can basically be confirmed to be players, but for Li Ruiming, no flaws have been seen in the current contact, and the possibility of NPC is greater.
"Well, Officer Zhang is really hard." Wu Ge responded casually and asked:
"Where are you going to start next?"
Li Ruiming looked at Wu Ge, and the expression on his face was a little playful, and he did not answer immediately.
After all, the police still have a certain confidentiality in handling cases. It is not appropriate for Wu Ge to suddenly ask in such an abrupt way.
Li Ruiming thought for a while and said:
"I'm going to see the residences of Pum and Lodi Chaolu. Are you going with me?"
"Well, but what I care more about is these two burned corpses.
These two corpses were not only dismembered, but also burned. The murderer obviously wanted to destroy the corpse and seemed to want to hide something.
I don’t know if there is a forensic doctor in our team for reinforcement this time. I suggest an autopsy is performed immediately. I suspect that the body may have some clues hidden." Wu Ge said.
"There is indeed a possibility, but unfortunately, we were in a hurry when we came, and there was no forensic doctor in the team. But these two bodies should be transported back to the county tomorrow, and an autopsy will be performed immediately at that time." Li Ruiming said.
Transported back to the county...
Wu Ge frowned slightly, but didn't say much.
Then, Li Ruiming turned around and looked at the police officers behind him and began to issue orders:
"Xiao Hu and Da Zhuang, you two go to the hotel of the scientific research team to take a record, and then tell them to pack up their things and send them back to the county this afternoon.
Fan Wu, Sun Zihao, Ding Long, you three and your comrades in the village continue to search for clues about Pumu.”
After assigning the task, Li Ruiming quietly whispered to the other three of the most powerful police officers.
Although Wu Ge did not hear the whole content clearly, he vaguely heard that the three of them were optimistic about the bodies in the township police station, and obviously he was worried that the murderer might appear again.
No matter how worried he was, the body had been destroyed to this extent, Wu Ge didn't think there were more clues to be excavated.
So Wu Ge got into Li Ruiming's police car and headed to the earthen building where the crime occurred.
At this time, the Tulou had been stopped by the cordon.
A resident of the building next to him got up early to carry water. When the police saw it, he was called over.
The police were about to inquire about the resident, and Wu Ge and Li Ruiming also walked over. Li Ruiming showed the police's ID, then walked to the villagers and said with a smile:
"My fellow, you got up early enough."
"Well, the wife and children at home are waiting to get water and cook. I don't get up early, how can I live?"
"My fellow villager, it seems you don't know what happened here last night, right?" Li Ruiming asked.
"Last night? What happened last night?
Hey, after you said that, something strange happened last night!
Last night, I heard a crackling sound in the old patriarch's house, and later someone shouted, "I don't know what's going on, it's so noisy."
I thought it was these two old enemies who had arguing again, so I didn't take it seriously." The villager murmured his sleepy eyes.
"Oh? Do you still remember the time you heard the sound? About when?" Li Ruiming asked.
"How can I remember it? I was still dreaming at that time.
In my dream, the sheep in my family all grew like big fat pigs. They rolled down from the hillside, and became bigger and bigger, and finally they all turned into heavy gold lumps, which made me so happy.
I was about to pick it up, but I didn't expect that the gold lumps that rolled down were too heavy, so I rolled down the hillside with them...
At this time, thunder broke out in the sky. The thunder rumbling sounds, and the big lightnings were like the electric dragon, which scared me to death.
This really scared me, and I woke up.
This time I saw it, guess what happened, there was no gold lump. It turned out that my stinky woman's fat foot hit my belly. As for the thunder, it turned out that it was from the old patriarch's building..."
Li Ruiming listened patiently to the villagers' stories, but still did not hear the critical time information.
"That is, you hear the sound, but you don't remember the time. But are you sure it came from this building?"
“Uhhh… This is really uncertain.
You also know that our earthen buildings have been built for hundreds of years and are repaired every year, but the building materials inside have long been lost. If anyone in the village quarrels, everyone around them can hear it, and sometimes they cannot tell which direction they came from." The villagers said.
Li Ruiming didn't care much about the words of the villagers, but it made Wu Ge's eyes lit up.
Not only are these earthen buildings not sound insulation, but there may also be various misjudgments in the sounds heard in the buildings. This gave him a reminder and made him understand something that had been confused about him before.
"Well, since you immediately thought that it might be the two of them quarrels, it seems that they often quarrel?" Li Ruiming asked.
"Well, no one in the village knows that they are mortal enemies.
In fact, it was fine in the early years, and the relationship between the two families was said to be quite good.
But later, the old patriarch's wife suffered from insect cancer, which made the old patriarch very anxious.
At that time, Grandma Pumu's house was enshrined in the insect god, and she also liked to collect all kinds of insects. In addition, it was rumored that Grandma Pumu had a magic flute that could summon insect swarms.
So the old patriarch thought that his wife had insect cancer and had something to do with her, so he always went to Grandma Pumu's house to make trouble, wanting him to release all the insects at home.
Grandma Pumu was not willing to agree. She had a big fight with the old clan leader, and the two families almost started to fight.
Later I heard that Grandma Pumu wanted to use some curses to trick the old patriarch, and even put some terrifying little black insects in the old patriarch's house.
To be honest, the old patriarch's son also lived in the village before, downstairs of the old patriarch's house.
Later, he couldn't bear Grandma Pumu's revenge, so he had to move his family to the county.
But it was really evil. The old patriarch's wife was sent to the county for treatment after being seriously ill. The condition worsened sharply. This kind of insect cancer is not a cancer, and it is not a rare disease.
Before, there were many people in the village who were as sick as her, and they were basically discharged from the hospital soon.
But the old patriarch's wife was not cured for a long time and eventually died.
Since then, the two families have been in dire straits and often start to quarrel at any time.
Our old patriarch is also a stubborn person. His son wanted him to move to the county several times, but the old man refused to do so and insisted on spending time with Grandma Pumu here.
Why……
Fortunately, the two old people quarreled, but the biggest quarrel was just smashing things.”
Li Ruiming nodded, looked at the earth building that was slowly shining in the morning sun in the distance, and murmured:
"But this time it's not as simple as smashing things. The old patriarch was killed last night."
"Killed? Being killed? No..." The villagers seemed extremely surprised. "Who did that? Do you suspect it was Grandma Pum?
That's impossible, absolutely impossible. Grandma Pumu can't even kill insects, so how could she kill people? Maybe it's a thief, there are always thieves in this village who steal things."
"We are still investigating. In this way, you will tell the police in detail what you know, and he will record it. We will also go to the scene to check it out, so we won't bother you." Li Ruiming said, ready to leave.
