Chapter 385 The Death of Ye San'er

It sounded like Gu Laoliu's voice, how did he know that he had returned to the police station, there was still a hint of anxiety in his voice.

This messed up all his questions.

"Old Road, shall I go out and have a look?"

"It's okay, Director Zhou, you are busy with your work, I am always here." Lu Changming is also a good person, and it can be seen that Zhou Sen is looking for him for something, otherwise he is a person who has no sense of existence in the police station. Under the care of the Secret Service Division of the National Police Agency.

Zhou Sen went out and saw Gu Laoliu running over, sweating profusely.

"What's the matter, sixth son, what's the matter?"

"Brother Sen, something happened to San'er."

"Ye San'er, what's wrong with him?" Zhou Sen's heart skipped a beat, don't be a crow's mouth.

"Ye San'er is dead, and his body was found in the ditch grass pond in the south of the city..." Gu Laoliu said with red eyes.

"What?" Zhou Sen also gave a "buzz" in the head. He was mentally prepared for Ye San'er to have an accident, but he didn't expect him to disappear.

Even if he was arrested and disappeared, it would be better than being gone.

"The corpses are all soaked, it's horrible..."

"When was the last time you saw him?" Zhou Sen tried to calm himself down and asked.

"Yesterday at noon, I had dinner with him and came to look for him. He led a patrol, but I didn't see him when I got off work at night." Gu Lao Liu recalled.

"Go to the scene first!" Zhou Sen waved his hand. No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as Ye San'er's death. This is the brother who came with him. Tube.

"Which police station does the grass pond in Chengnangou belong to?"

"It's the port police station."

"I see." Zhou Sen was thinking about how to take over the case in his mind, but he found a reason.

Although Ye San'er usually likes to gamble, he still owes some money. People also know his identity and know that he is not bad at his debts, so they won't be tempted to kill him.

Ye San'er is not good at drinking, so it is unlikely that he would have an accident while drinking, and the ditch and grass ponds in the south of the city are not within his range of activities.

He wouldn't go there for no reason.

Sitting in the car on the way to the ditch grass pond, Zhou Sen had a general understanding of the situation. Ye San'er's body was found by a villager mowing the grass nearby, and he immediately reported it to the port police station.

Seeing that there was a homicide, the Futou Police Station did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent the criminal police to the scene.

A policeman from the criminal department recognized Ye San'er. After all, Ye San'er was patrolling the streets and had dealings with all parties. It's not surprising that the people from the port police station knew him.

It was precisely because someone recognized it that they sent someone to find Gu Lao Liu, and Gu Lao Liu hurriedly went to identify the corpse.

This time, Gu Lao Liu was taken aback. Based on his familiarity with Ye San'er, he recognized Ye San'er at a glance.

The person who died was Ye San'er. He hurriedly begged the people from the port office to protect the scene, and ran back to find Zhou Sen.

First he went to the police station, and then he learned from his subordinates that Zhou Sen had come to the Nangang police station, so he came to find him.

On such a hot day, the corpse would rot within a day if soaked in water.

The Criminal Division of the Futou Police Station formed a circle around the place where the body was found. It was his own person who died.

If it were someone else, they would have already arranged for someone to take the body to the funeral home, and they would stay here waiting for someone to come.

This came and went, and I waited for nearly two hours.

A small black car rushed along the winding dirt road.

Wu En's driving skills were very good, before reaching the crowd of onlookers, he stepped on the brakes and stopped. Zhou Sen and Gu Lao Liu got out of the car and rushed down quickly.

"Brother Sen, Chief Meng."

"Zhou Sen of the Police Department, Ye San'er's former boss." Zhou Sen reached out politely, shook the other's hand, and introduced himself.

"I've heard of Brother Sen's name a long time ago, Meng Qiang, the deputy chief of the Criminal Section of the Futou Police Station." Meng Qiang said modestly.

The forensic examiner is conducting an autopsy at the scene.

"Meng Section Chief, take a step to speak." Zhou Sen invited Meng Qiang aside and said in a low voice, "Ye San'er used to be my subordinate. I know what kind of person he is. His death should not be an accident. I want to investigate this case myself, can you give me some convenience?"

"Brother Sen, this case happened on the boundary of our port police station. If I hand it over, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it to the higher authorities?"

"I won't embarrass Section Chief Meng. I will report to your port police station in the name of the special affairs department of the police department, and transfer this case to the police department," Zhou Sen said.

"Then there's no problem." Meng Qiang didn't want to offend Zhou Sen, after all, he also knew some rumors, not to mention that Zhou Sen also had a very influential wife.

He didn't know if Zhou Sen was a softie, but he knew that this young man was not something he could provoke.

"Thank you, Chief Meng, for your understanding."

"Brother Sen, you're being polite." Meng Qiang was obviously older than Zhou Sen, but he still called "Brother Sen" just like Gu Lao Liu.

Zhou Sen didn't correct him either, calling him "Officer Zhou" is not a system, so it's okay to call him "Director Zhou", he's just a staff member, so it's inappropriate to call him "Zhou Sen" directly...

This appellation problem is really a headache. In fact, it can be called Team Leader Zhou, but even in the Special Affairs Section of the Police Department, few people call it that. The team leader is not considered an official. I don't like being called that either.

Zhou Sen doesn't have such a bad habit, but he does as the Romans do, doesn't he?
"Looking back, I'll invite Section Chief Meng to dinner, and I'll call the brothers under my command. I must not refuse!" Zhou Sen said.

"Okay, I'll thank the brothers first." Meng Qiang thanked, although he had never dealt with Zhou Sen before, but now he thinks that Zhou Sen is a good person, and he is a person who can get along with, and, said It's good for your future if you don't settle down.

"Forensic doctor, what's the situation?"

"The preliminary judgment is drowning, but the detailed results will not be known until after the autopsy." The forensic doctor looked up and said.

"Well, take the corpse back and dissect it first." Zhou Sen ordered.

The forensic doctor did not move, but turned his attention to Meng Qiang. This case is led by Meng Qiang. He is the forensic doctor of the Portu District Police Station, and he has to listen to his immediate superior.

"Listen to Officer Zhou Sen."

"Yes." The forensic doctor nodded, and called for someone to put Ye San'er's body on a stretcher, ready to carry it away.

"Wait a minute?" Zhou Sen suddenly saw that the fingers of Ye San'er's right hand were slightly bent inwardly, but there was a sharp nail tear on the top of the index finger.

Zhou Sen put on his gloves, walked over, squatted down, picked up the right hand, and observed carefully.

This grasping action should have been done before Ye San'er died, and the missing corner of his index finger nail should have been torn. If he had cut the nail himself, the edge would not have this shape.

It is very likely that they were torn apart when they were pulled by someone, and this alone is enough to show that Ye San'er's death was abnormal.

There are no obvious wounds on the body, it is likely that it was suddenly attacked from behind...

All this is his speculation, and the specific situation will not be known until after a detailed autopsy.

"That's where Ye San'er found it. At that time, some villagers were mowing grass by the pond, and suddenly found something floating in the grass. They thought it was a dead animal. When they got closer, they saw it was a human being. They were so frightened that they quickly notified the head of the village. The head of the village immediately arranged for villagers to protect the scene and notify the police." Gu Lao Liu led Zhou Sen to the place where Ye San'er was found.

Because the salvage of the corpses had almost destroyed the scene, messy footprints could be seen all around, and valuable clues had long been trampled away.

If it is true that the corpse was thrown after the murder, the choice of this place must have such considerations. Even if the corpse is found, if the curious villagers gather together and the corpse is salvaged, the traces of the scene will definitely be destroyed.

There may be villagers coming to this place during the day, but it is too far away from the village at night, and there is a high probability that no one will come here.

The reed marshes near the shore were basically trampled on, and even if someone dumped the body, the traces would be covered up.

Zhou Sen had someone invite the villager who found Ye San'er's body over, and asked him a few questions.

Zhou Sen knew that the information that the villagers could provide was very limited. Of course, the notices and rewards that should be issued were still required.

The money was obviously paid by him, and the port police station would not pay a penny.

Zhou Sen walked around the area again, especially carefully inspecting the road to the pond.

If it is a corpse, there must be a tool for transporting the corpse. If it is carried by two people or carried by one person, it will definitely leave footprints along the way.

The villagers around here wear cloth shoes or bare feet, but if they are urban residents, they usually wear rubber-soled shoes or even leather shoes.

Both shoes have non-slip soles.

Therefore, as long as it appears on the dirt road, the patterned footprints are very clear and are suspicious.

Of course, it is easy to leave footprints on this kind of dirt road, but it is not difficult to remove them. At least carry a broom with you to cover up all the traces.

However, doing so will inevitably leave traces, at most it will not leave clues to the investigators.

There is no perfect crime scene in this world, but the clues are ignored due to the thinking and ability of the investigators.

If two people were carrying the corpse, they must have taken the main road, but if it was a single person, it was more likely to take the small road.

"Lao Liu, what was the lunar date yesterday?"

"It seems to be the twelfth or thirteenth day of the lunar calendar. I didn't pay attention." Gu Laoliu replied subconsciously.

"On the twelfth day of the lunar calendar, the moon should be waxing and gibbous, and the moonlight should be brighter at this time. If there are no dark clouds covering the moon at night, you can walk without a lamp..." Zhou Sen said to himself.

"Brother, there is a wheelbarrow rut here!" Wu En suddenly shouted.

"Where?" Zhou Sen's body trembled when he heard the words, he followed Wu En's voice, and then ran over in three steps at a time.

"Brother, look, here." Wu En pointed to a small rut on the side of the road, which is the kind of rubber tire.

"How can you be sure it's a unicycle?"

"On such a narrow road, only a unicycle can be used. Moreover, these tires are not new, but old ones are dismantled and reused, and the lines are all smoothed out. However, this kind of unicycle with rubber wheels is not suitable for ordinary people I can't afford it..." Wu En explained while gesturing.

"Take down the rubbing of this rut ​​and check this car." Zhou Sen ordered.

"Brother Sen, although there are not many such unicycles, but this is in the suburbs of Ice City, and many people have unicycles in their homes. It may be a lot of work to find out."

"Would you push a wheelbarrow for dozens of miles in the middle of the night?" Zhou Sen asked rhetorically.

"I understand. This car must belong to a nearby villager. Maybe someone borrowed it for a while and then returned it..." Gu Lao Liu began to make reasonable guesses.

"Please help the brothers from the port bureau to find them together, buy them something, drink soda, don't be afraid to spend money, anyone who dares to touch me, Zhou Sen, I will make him pay the price!" Zhou Sen said.

"Understood." Gu Lao Liu nodded, Ye San'er's death touched him deeply, today is Ye San'er, will it be his turn tomorrow?

For a boss who is ruthless, it is fine to give some compensation according to the standard, and maybe a part of it will be deducted.

"Is there anyone else in Ye San'er's family?"

"No, his parents died a long time ago, and he has no siblings, but his uncle and brother of the same clan are still there."

"The application for compensation is based on casualties on duty, and Chief Song should not be embarrassed." Zhou Sen said.

"Okay, then I'll do it."

The results of the investigation of the wheelbarrow marks were soon available, and the wheelbarrow of a villager named Niu was consistent with the rut marks found.

According to him, his family's wheelbarrow has been placed in his yard for the past few days and has not been used, and the field near the road just now does not belong to him, and it is impossible for him to push the wheelbarrow there.

Obviously, someone borrowed his family's wheelbarrow and used it.

"I still find it strange. When I got up early this morning, I found that the direction of my unicycle was wrong. I used to put the front of the wheel on the outside, so that when I used it, I just pushed it up and walked away. But when I got up in the morning, the front of the wheelbarrow was It faces inward, and the position is also crooked." The villager explained tremblingly.

"Can I go to your house and have a look?"

"Yes, yes, Officer Zhou, follow me." The villager surnamed Niu led Zhou Sen and his party to their yard.

His family has three tile-roofed houses and an attached room. It looks like a well-to-do family. The family members were a little scared when they saw a group of people coming in, as well as the police.

The wheelbarrow was parked under the shed in the southwest corner, with its front facing inward, and its position was slightly inclined.

"This is the car. I put it there when I got up in the morning. I haven't moved it yet." Niu Da pointed to the wheelbarrow and explained.

Zhou Sen stepped forward and carefully observed the tires, especially the dirt stained on them, and whether there were any clues left on the car.

"I can take this car away first. If it delays your use, I can also buy it. How about you buying another one?" Zhou Sen raised his head and asked.

Niu Da was slightly taken aback, a little afraid to agree, and looked at his father behind him, obviously the one who made the decision in the family was still his father.

"Sir, just take the car away, as long as you can return it afterwards." The old man said.

"Old man, I don't want to use your car for nothing. I'll rent it out for one day, and it will be counted as one day's rent, and I will send it back to you with the car." Zhou Sen said, buying this wheelbarrow is useless to him. Since he didn't have to buy it, he didn't have to buy it, and the way of renting it was also good, and it didn't cost a lot of money.

"Row."

Zhou Sen gave him a written statement and asked someone to take the wheelbarrow away.
