There was still little progress in the licensed investigation work until the afternoon. Although the boys of the service company were very energetic, they never got any valuable clues.
So far, the basic investigation has restored Zhang Qianniu's route after leaving the base. The only thing that is certain is that he was still alive after leaving the hotel after 16:30. After the whistle blew at 17:00, someone was at the fishing boat dock in the commercial street.
The last time he was seen was vomiting on the beach, according to witnesses, but there were no other travelers around him.
After that, no one saw Zhang Qianniu again.
Now, people from the service company and the police station are investigating everyone who has had contact with Zhang Qianniu to see if they can find any new clues.
He allowed himself to return to the office with the materials. He wanted to reorganize his thoughts and "string together" the materials he had mastered.
During this period, Renne called and said that according to the results of his own autopsy, Zhang Qianniu had defensive wounds on his arms and hands. He should have struggled with the murderer before he was killed.
He knew very well that the investigation would not be of much use. It had been more than 24 hours since the incident, and the murderer had enough time to escape.
But this incident has always puzzled Xu Quan. So far, the murderer's motives remain unclear.
Based on his years of experience in criminal investigation, 99% of murder cases are motivated - the so-called indiscriminate killing is just a drop in the ocean. The murderer who killed Zhang Qianniu must have had his purpose.
He had already ruled out killings for love or robbery, so revenge killings became the biggest suspect. Many people in the navy were pirates. If you check the history carefully, they may not be innocent. They may be burdened with blood debts and vendettas. The murderer may be an accident.
It was only after I discovered that he had murderous intentions in Kaohsiung.
But why the murderer took off his clothes puzzled him. It was understandable that the murderer chopped off his head to vent his anger, but taking off his clothes was a bit strange.
In his opinion, the only explanation for stripping off the clothes and beheading was that the murderer did not want anyone to recognize who the body was. From the perspective of a vendetta, it was somewhat unreasonable.
What was the murderer stripping off his clothes for?
Xu Xu was thinking hard, and suddenly a thought broke into his mind. He was suddenly excited: Yes, why didn't I think of it earlier!
He immediately jumped up, picked up the phone on the table and shook it a few times: "Call Qijin Base Headquarters."
A few minutes later, the sirens in the port and the commercial district all sounded at the same time. This was the Navy's "emergency return" signal. Once this signal is heard, all naval officers and soldiers who have asked for leave must return to the team.
Li Xu has a new inference: the murder is probably related to Zhang Qianniu's uniform!
He then ordered the messenger of the service company who was on standby: "Run immediately to the company commander and tell him that it is my order: starting from 17:00, all naval soldiers operating in the commercial streets, Kaohsiung city and ports will be arrested. They will be escorted to
Screening within the base!”
"Yes, sir!" The orderly soldier saluted, turned around and trotted out.
Xu Shi took off the holster hanging on the wall and was about to go out. Suddenly the phone rang again. He quickly picked it up:
The call was from the police, and the information they reported completely confirmed his inference.
About an hour ago, the police station received a report from a navy soldier: His uniform was missing!
The soldier took leave from the base a few hours ago and found a "yellow card" on the commercial street. He went to the "inn" above the cooperative store on the commercial street. After finishing the work, he fell asleep as usual, and when he woke up he found
The uniform and naval dagger are gone.
There is nothing wrong with the "yellow cards" - these yellow cards are individual prostitutes who have been "shunted" from Lingao. The selection criteria are that they have been practicing in Lingao for more than one year to ensure that there are no spies among them. The police initially thought it was
An ordinary theft case. So I just asked "Yellow Card", but Huang Card himself fell asleep and couldn't provide any more information. The investigation of the scene found that the thief climbed up the downpipe from the back of the cooperative store, and then pried open the window and climbed in.
The police who then went to investigate found a puzzling problem: the prostitute's own clothes, jewelry and even money were there. Only the sailor's belongings were missing.
The director of the police station came from Lingaoguo. He received police training in Fangcaodi and had a professional background. This strange theft case immediately reminded him of Zhang Qianniu's murder case: he was also a sailor, and he also lost his uniform.
I immediately called the authorized phone number to report the incident.
After listening to the director's introduction to the case on the phone, Xu Xu gradually frowned. Before the director had finished speaking, he had already fully confirmed his conjecture.
These are two related cases - the murderer's purpose was to obtain the sailors' uniforms, and they obviously had some political intention!
Xu Xu hung up the phone and quickly shook the phone handle again.
The whistle did not disturb the enjoyment of the group of people in the cooperative restaurant. After a few people finished drinking tea, they decided to go back to eat first when they saw that it was getting late - Dr. Zhong was said to be making "cold food" today. Everyone was ready to taste it and went out.
At that time, Zhong Xiaoying and Cretia fell behind because they decided to buy a new piece of clothing. Westley and Mr. Priest were walking on the street.
At this time, a drunken soldier came towards him and bumped into Vestri. The soldier shouted to Vestri: "Hey! Red Hair, are you blind?"
Westley didn't answer either - he just shrugged apologetically: "Why don't you speak?"
The soldier still refused to give up and came closer.
Priest Dermot shook his head and motioned to Vestry to ignore the two drunkards. The two continued to move forward, but unexpectedly one of the soldiers suddenly pulled out the navy dagger he carried and stabbed Vestry hard in the side.
With two stabs in the back, Vestry screamed and fell to the ground. A commotion immediately broke out in the street. The drunkard stabbed Vestry to the ground, and then stabbed the priest Dermot with a dagger. The priest suffered a tragic death.
He screamed and fell down.
Credia and Zhong Xiaoying were walking this way and were shocked by what happened. Zhong Xiaoying had learned martial arts at home and her movements were very flexible. She rushed forward and saw the soldiers who had caused the trouble were fleeing.
.
Zhong Xiaoying pulled out a 1630 model revolver. In order to ensure her safety, Dr. Zhong asked someone to teach her shooting skills and even applied for a pistol specifically for her. But she did not fire: there were too many people on the street and she fired rashly.
Guns will hurt innocent people. She gritted her teeth and chased after him.
All this was seen by Credia. Credia regained consciousness and hurriedly looked at Vestri lying on the ground, only to see a large pool of blood under Vestri's body.
He touched his mouth and nose with his hand again, and found that he was no longer breathing. Credia immediately collapsed to the ground.
Zhong Xiaoying chased the murderer all the way. At this time, the police's harsh whistle sounded throughout the commercial street. Zhong Xiaoying knew that the entrance and exit gates of the commercial street were now closing, and even if they could escape from the gate, they would be in the wilderness.
Walking at night is looking for death.
The murderer ran towards the fishing boat dock. Zhong Xiaoying followed closely behind. She didn't know why this navy soldier would kill someone - but she had an intuition that this man didn't look like a sailor.
You have to catch him alive!
The other party ran to the fishing boat dock and plunged directly into the bay. He dived for more than ten meters in one breath before his head emerged. He immediately started swimming through the waves. It was obvious that the water was very good. Zhong Xiaoying did not dare to jump in and chase.
——Her water skills are not too bad, but compared with the opponent, they are far inferior. She may not be the opponent's opponent in the sea. She stamped her feet anxiously. ——There are patrolling navy sampans at the entrance of the port, but there is no way to notify them.
They came to intercept.
There were many fishing boats in the bay, and the commotion had caused many people to come out of the cabins to "watch". Zhong Xiaoying shouted: "Catch him!"
However, when the fishermen saw that the person swimming was a soldier, and the person shouting was a girl wearing "Konren" clothes, they were confused about the situation and no one dared to make a mistake.
Seeing that the murderer was almost out of the effective shooting range of the pistol, she no longer cared about "catching him alive". According to the shooting posture learned at the Feiyun Club, she raised the gun with both hands, crouched slightly, took aim, and pulled the trigger.
Almost at the same time, the swimmer spread his hands and sank immediately.
"Killing!" A scream came from the fishing boat. The entire fishing boat dock was also in chaos.
Zhong Xiaoying finally escaped from the pier. The security forces on duty at the pier did not speak Chinese and stopped her. She did not escape until the police arrived. She hurried back to the scene of the crime. She saw Credia in a state of despair.
He knelt on the ground, holding Vestri's head tightly in his arms. Looking at the priest again, he was motionless.
After hearing the news, the security forces soldiers and police officers had already formed a human wall nearby.
Unexpectedly, Priest Dermot shook his body and got up from the ground. Zhong Xiaoying hurried over to help him.
"Priest, how are you?"
The priest groped up and down for a long time and found that not a hair on his body was hurt. He couldn't help but take out the cross around his neck, kissed it with his mouth, and made a cross on his chest.
"God bless..." He then quickly checked Westri's breathing and shook his head helplessly. "My poor child..."
As he spoke, he began to mutter scriptures.
At this moment, Xu Xu and Dr. Zhong also arrived, and saw the priest praying for Westley. Xu Xu looked extremely ugly - he didn't expect such a major case to happen under his nose!
Zhong Lishi asked Zhong Xiaoying: "Why don't you send him to the hospital quickly? Can Westri be saved?"
"The foreign monk said that he had run out of energy and was giving salvation to Westley... A good person died like this..." As he said this, Zhong Xiaoying couldn't help but feel a sore nose and shed tears. They had been getting along day and night these days,
We were already very good friends, but I didn't expect him to die like this.
