Li Ziyu didn't know whether Lao Gao's "fa" was a sincere congratulation or a joke, so he had to shut up and say nothing. Zhao Gui giggled a few times with "hehe".
Since it was confirmed that there was indeed a corpse, it was natural to confirm whether this was the scene of the crime. Gao Chongjiu and Li Zhenguo both believed it was not. Their reasons were based on the blood stains. Li Zhenguo determined this based on the area and depth of blood penetration.
Chief Mu once said: There are arteries and veins in the human neck. Once beheaded, a large amount of blood will be lost, and the blood that penetrates into the soil cannot be so small. Gao Chongjiu has seen many beheaded prisoners on the execution ground for many years:
The head is the head of the Six Yangs and has strong blood energy. When the head is chopped off, a jet-like splash mark will instantly form. However, there will be no traces on the surrounding walls or the ground.
The deceased was beheaded elsewhere and then moved here. The question is, why go to all the trouble to move it here?
Gao Chongjiu thinks this is not difficult to explain, because the Seventh Alley of the East Branch of Jianzi Lane is actually a river. Throwing the corpse into the river is an easy and simple way to dispose of the corpse. Even if the corpse floats in a few days, there is no telling where it will float.
Went there. Even if the police tried to find the location of the incident, they were still looking for a needle in a haystack. Besides, most of the rivers in the city were connected to the Liumai Canal. If it drifted into the culvert and was left to rot, no one would know.
After straightening out the train of thought, the matter became very simple: after discovering that Li Ziyu and the others left the body and turned back, the murderer who was hiding nearby quickly returned to the scene, transported the body to the river port at the bottom of the alley, and threw it directly into the river.
So when Li Ziyu and the street watcher came back, the body had disappeared, and the body must still be in the river.
"Not only is the body still in the river, but the murderer who dumped the body is also still on this street." Li Zhenguo said with a little regret, "It's a pity that we don't have dogs here!"
He heard Wu Xiang and other naturalized policemen from Lingao said that Australian police stations have dogs that can smell and identify people and are specially used to capture criminals. As long as the dog is brought to the scene and smelled, he can find them.
It's very magical to chase fugitives.
But this kind of dog is not deployed in the police station - the Australians have brought many kinds of dogs to Guangzhou that they have never seen before, but they are more often accompanied by the security patrols in the streets and alleys.
Patrolling the surrounding countryside, he bared his teeth and growled in a low voice. Li Zhenguo only heard that there would be a "police dog unit", but when it would be established, even Mu Min didn't know.
Although there is no legendary Australian police dog, they still have a street gate.
Because this Jianzi Alley is nearly five miles long, in order to facilitate gate management, the government used to divide it into two main east-west roads and divide it into South Jianzi Alley, Zhongjianzi Alley and North Jianzi Alley. Each section was equipped with north and south street gates.
, there is a "street watcher" responsible for opening and closing.
The crime scene was at the southern end of Nanjianzi Lane. When Gao Chongjiu came just now, he had a clever idea and asked the street watchers not to open the street gates - they were about to open the street gates at dawn. Now, the entire Nanjianzi Lane
The alley is still blocked, outsiders can't get in, and the people inside can't get out. Unless the murderer who dumped the body is a thief who can sneak through the walls, he must still be in a corner of this street. And the murderer
The scene must be somewhere on this street.
Gao Chongjiu’s affirmation makes sense. The street gate system is actually a revival of the past “rifang” system. However, the city is no longer a “checkerboard”, so the street gate system is adopted. After the gate is closed at night, everyone except the doctor
Ordinary people are not allowed to pass through, including midwives and midwives. Even powerful families will not just ask someone to open the street gate at night if they have nothing to do.
Although this is a bit inconvenient for the citizens, it is indeed very useful in terms of public security. Except for snitches who can fly high and low, it is difficult for thieves to move around at night. When Gao Chongjiu was on duty at the Yamen, he would go there every day.
When encountering a major case that the Shangguan is responsible for handling, as long as he roughly knows which street the prisoner is on, the chief of the quick shift will usually close the street gate, and then the yamen will be led by the chief of security to conduct a door-to-door search. Unless the information is inaccurate, otherwise the arrest will be made
The prisoner is almost certain.
This method has been tried many times, but it disturbs the people too much. But it is a good opportunity for the government officials to make a fortune: whether it is door-to-door interrogation or search, shops and homes must pay tribute with money. If anyone is blind, the home and shop will be turned over.
It would be easy for him to plunder someone from the bottom of the sky, but if he is suspected of being a "traitor" and is dragged into the prison room to entertain him for a few days, it is not something that can be solved with a few hundred copper coins.
Li Zhenguo also knew this method. To be fair, it was the simplest and fastest method at the moment. Once the criminal was found, the body would naturally be found. He immediately agreed. The two immediately returned to the police station and told the director that the director would send someone to cut Nan off.
All the street gates leading to various places in the alley were blocked to prevent people from sneaking through the gates. At the same time, the security guard and team leader of the film were summoned to the police station for a meeting to check whether there were any suspicious persons recently.
As for Li Ziyu and Zhao Gui, since they are the patrol police in this film, they have to do their part. The director originally wanted to ask them to guard the street gate, but Li Zhenguo said that since they were the first discoverers, it is better to stay in the station so that they can think of them again.
You can immediately inquire about anything. At the same time, we sent people to the city bureau and asked for workers to be sent to recover the bodies from the river.
The policemen on duty at the station were dispatched separately. It was just getting light now and every household had not gone out yet. When the police station called out, except for one who was sick in bed and could not come, all the security guards in Nanjianzi Lane came to their aid within a short time.
All here.
Li Zhenguo first asked if there had been any suspicious outsiders in the local area in the past few days and if there had been anything suspicious recently.
According to the new household registration management system, all outsiders who stay in the residents' shops in this area for more than 24 hours must come to the police station to apply for temporary household registration. This is not an invention of modern society. It existed when Wang Shouren implemented the Baojia system.
There were similar regulations, but the household registration system at that time had not yet been clearly institutionalized, and the efficiency of implementation also depended on the diligence of the bureaucrats and chief security officers.
The household registration system established by the Senate in Guangzhou is naturally much more effective than the simple Baojia system. The Baojia chiefs now have dedicated "officers" - household registration police officers. Naturally, the efficiency of work has been improved a lot. Especially at the current police stations.
The household registration police were actually naturalized civilian cadres sent by Lingao. They had their own set of methods of doing things. The system was quickly established.
However, the chiefs of security guards could not explain the reason. Everyone said that there were no suspicious people recently. There were not many new immigrants arriving in the city recently: because of the Northern Expedition of the Senate Army, most people could not go out without going out.
During the war, the war was chaotic, and long-distance travel was risky. Therefore, in the past three days, there were only a dozen or so foreigners who came to apply for temporary household registration. Gao Chongjiu knew that generally speaking, the people who worked as security guards on the street were not ordinary people.
Common people, at least, have seen some of the world, are eloquent, and can deal with people in all aspects. Their eyes are a little more "venomous" than ordinary people. If they say that there are no suspicious people, then naturally there will be no such people. This is somewhat disappointing.
Gao Chongjiu was a little disappointed.
As for the suspicious things, the security guards came up with a few, but most of them were trivial. At least on the surface, they didn't appear to be related to the murder case.
Li Zhenguo said that since there were no available clues, he asked the security guards to lead the way and went door-to-door with the police in the station.
Naturally, Li Ziyu and Zhao Gui also had to go along for the investigation.
Just as they began to conduct house-to-house checks, two gangsters who were responsible for salvaging corpses from rivers in the city also arrived in small boats. The gangsters had a low status and no pay at all.
Rely on the corpse owner and the government to reward you with some money. In winter, the water is bone-chilling, and in summer, the smell is so bad that no one except beggars wants to do this job.
Two men who were retrieving the bodies were rowing a small boat. One person stayed at the bow of the boat to push the boat forward slowly, and the other person sat on the stern of the boat and lowered a series of giant rolling hooks tied with thick hemp ropes into the river, which hung down to the bottom of the river.
In this way, we searched back and forth for a distance of 50 meters from the head and downstream of the river port.
The river had not been dredged for many years, and there was a lot of debris and garbage under the water. As they searched through it section by section, they found a lot of heavy objects pulled up by the rolling hook, but they were all filled with all kinds of garbage.
.The two men fished in the river for a long time and found nothing, let alone a headless body.
When the news reached the two criminal policemen who were interrogating the residents, Gao Chongjiu and Li Zhenguo couldn't hold their breath. The absence of a body meant that their previous inferences were untenable. In addition to instructing the criminals to expand the search scope, Gao Chongjiu and Li Zhenguo
Chongjiu and Li Zhenguo decided to divide their forces into two groups. Gao Chongjiu continued to interrogate the residents, and Li Zhenguo returned to the scene to see if he could find any more clues.
Since they were going back to the scene for exploration, Li Ziyu and Zhao Gui naturally had to accompany them. Li Zhenguo returned to the scene, and the police had cordoned it off. Although there was nothing on the scene, word of a murder had occurred on the street.
, the street gates on both sides were closed tightly, and the leaders of each group were busy going door to door looking for people to question, which proved that the legend was true. So as soon as Li Zhenguo returned here, many idlers gathered nearby to watch the excitement.
Li Zhenguo first came to the 11th alley of the West Branch. This alley is quite long. You can walk along the alley to another north-south street. The street gates here are still locked. Obviously, after nightfall, the criminals
It's impossible to get in from here, and it's impossible to get out from here. Either he just hid in the alley when he dumped the body, or the scene of the crime is right here!
Li Zhenguo tried hard to recall what he saw, heard and learned when he went on a mission with Wu Xiang. It is obvious that a corpse is very heavy. If a person carries it on his back, he cannot walk a long way.
Therefore, the place where the crime occurred will not be far from the place where the body was dumped. (~^~)
