Chapter 21 The Dark Night Demon (7)
Yao Shun pulled aside the scout who was in charge of tracking Wang Baocai, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"We don't know either. Today we are still following him secretly as usual. His whereabouts are still the same as the previous few days, wandering around aimlessly. At night, after he had dinner, he ran to the inland river again. Wandering, wandering from upstream to downstream, and then he found a body floating in the river, and then heard him yelling that he was dead, and then called the police."

"You said just now that he went to hang out by the inland river again. Has he been hanging around here often recently?"

"Well, he basically comes here for a few laps every day and stays for a while."

After understanding the outline of the matter, Yao and Shun came to Wang Baocai's side. When he saw Yao and Shun, Wang Baocai immediately cried out in horror: "Officer, it's terrible, it's terrible, dead man! It's terrible!"

Yao and Shun ignored Wang Baocai. He took Wang Baocai's transcript from the scout who was interrogating him. After reading it roughly, he asked the scout to leave first. He wanted to ask Wang Baocai a few questions alone.

"Officer, it's terrible. I really didn't expect to find a dead person. Really, it's terrible, it's really terrible." Wang Baocai said still in horror.

"Don't act in front of me, do you think your acting skills are very good!" Yao Shun scolded angrily.

Hearing this, the frightened expression on Wang Baocai's face quickly subsided, and instead he showed a sly smile, and said, "Officer Yao, how can you talk like that? I'm not like your police, I often see dead bodies, so of course I'm scared La! My heart! It’s still beating up and down, and it seems like I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

Seeing Wang Baocai's disgusting face, Yaoshun was furious, and really wanted to rush up and beat him up, but this fell into Wang Baocai's hands again, and he would not only be disciplined, but also might not be able to investigate this case anymore , so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and try to calm himself down as much as possible.

"Officer Yao, who do you think the murderer will be?" Wang Baocai asked calmly.

"I don't know who the murderer is, but I know very well that the murderer is a devil, a crazy murderer." Yao Shun said angrily.

"The devil? Is it? That's from your point of view! Why can't you be more objective? Anyone who kills must be guilty? Anyone who is killed must be innocent?"

"If murder is not a crime, then where is the justice in this world? No matter whether the person killed is innocent or not, it should be proved by the law. No one can go beyond the authority of the law and commit suicide without authorization. Otherwise, he is declaring war on justice, and his There is only one outcome, and that is death."

Yao and Shun's words were obviously intended for Wang Baocai, but Wang Baocai pretended not to understand at all, and stared at Yao and Shun in confusion.

After a while, Wang Baocai suddenly seemed to be a different person, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said: "Officer Yao, I found that your memory is really bad. I remember telling you that I was doing justice for the sky. , if doing justice for the heavens will perish, then how can there be justice in this world?"

"Killing people counts as doing justice for the heavens?" Yao Shun questioned, he had calmed down a lot at this time, he knew very well that he must not be provoked by Wang Baocai, that would only make him lose his ability to judge.

"That's what they deserve."

"Damn? What's the reason? What kind of damn reason did you want to kill them?"

"Yes..." Wang Baocai had just reached his lips, but suddenly retracted it, with a sly smile on his face again: "Officer Yao, you are very cunning! You want to trick me? Haha! I won't be so stupid as to be easy." It was tricked out of you."

"So you killed Hu Jing and Li Yan, and the female corpse that was fished up from the river now?"

"Officer Yao, you don't have any evidence, so you can't wrong me! Don't forget, I was the first to report the woman's corpse in the river. If I killed it, would I be so stupid?"

"Do you think you can easily stay out of the matter when you find the body and report the case? Can you prove your innocence?"

"This time, not only can I prove it, but your colleagues can also prove it! Those colleagues of yours follow me all day long. They follow me wherever I go. It's really hard work for them, but fortunately, they are the only ones who can help me. I'll testify about the discovery of the body tonight, otherwise, wouldn't you, Police Officer Yao, be wronging me again?"

Wang Baocai's words were a pun. On the one hand, he was demonstrating to Yao and Shun, telling the other party that he had already known that someone was following him.On the other hand, there is a taste of mockery, which means that I used your people who followed me to prove the discovery of the body for me.

"They don't feel hard at all in order to be able to catch the murderous devil."

Yao Shun glared at Wang Baocai, then turned and left. He didn't want to engage in unnecessary verbal disputes with Wang Baocai. The most important thing was to find evidence as soon as possible. However, he didn't want to let Wang Baocai go easily, so he used the transcript as an excuse , asked the scouts to take Wang Baocai back to the police station and make a more detailed record.

The corpse had already rotted and swelled due to being soaked in water for a long time, and there was a disgusting and pungent smell around the corpse, but for Yao and Shun, the smell at this time was not as good as Wang Baocai's ugly face. How many times better.

Walking to the side of the corpse, Yao Shun squatted down and lifted the white cloth covering it. He carefully observed the female corpse. The female corpse had already rotted, and the clothes on her body were soaked in water and were in tatters.

"Is there any result?" Yao Shun covered the white cloth and asked the forensic doctor.

"Judging from the surface of the corpse, it has been a while since he died, and the initial judgment is at least four days. Since the corpse has been decomposed and soaked in water for a long time, the exact time of death cannot be determined for a while. As for the reason for the murder of the corpse, it is not yet possible to judge, but there are also a large number of stab wounds on the body of the deceased, and the lower body of the deceased also has traces of being corroded by sulfuric acid, but because the corpse has already rotted, the specific results need to go back for detailed inspection to be clear."

"More than four days? Then why did the body surface?"

"A hemp rope was found around the waist of the corpse, and a large black plastic bag was connected behind it. There was still a small amount of fine sand in the bag. It should be that the murderer tied it to the corpse to increase the weight when throwing the corpse, so as to prevent the corpse from floating. out of the water, but unexpectedly the sand leaked out, reducing the weight, so the body surfaced."

"It's strange. If Shen's corpse doesn't tie a stone to it, isn't that very simple? Putting sand in a black plastic bag is completely thankless. What is Wang Bao thinking?" Yao Shun thought to himself. thinking.

After learning about the initial situation of the corpse, Yao and Shun asked the on-site investigators, "Have you found out the identity of the deceased?"

"No identification items were found on the body of the deceased, so it is unclear for the time being."

"Go to each police station to check the missing persons in the past few days. The deceased has been missing for many days, and her family cannot ignore it."

"A colleague has already checked."

"Immediately investigate all the information of the deceased, and use the photos of the deceased to compare with the two female victims who were killed before, to see if we can find similarities."

When the third murder happened, Yao and Shun no longer had the anger they had before, and became more calm. Just like what Han Shanshan said, Wang Baocai's purpose was to stimulate him so that he could not make a correct judgment calmly. , the more I need to calm down, instead of getting angry, it is more practical to save energy and find clues.

Follow the vine
The identity of the female corpse in Neihe was quickly revealed. Her name was Xiao Honghong. She disappeared five days ago. Her family members reported to the police at the police station. Of course, these were just ordinary information, and there was nothing special about it. What surprised Yao and Shun the most , is Xiao Honghong's job. It turns out that Xiao Honghong and No. 2 victim Li Yan are colleagues of the same real estate agency.

The cause of Xiao Honghong's death has also been concluded. The time of death was four days ago, which was exactly the same as that of the previous two victims.The wound on the back of the deceased's head was attacked by a hard object, which was the same as the wound on the back of Li Yan's head found before. It was all caused by hammering, and from the point of view, the assailant was taller than the deceased, but it was not the same as the wound on the back of Li Yan's head. Relatively shallower wounds.Fibrous tissue and rotting food residues were also found in the mouth of the deceased. The hands and feet of the deceased showed signs of being bound and as many as 41 knife wounds, all of which were caused after death. The wounds on the two previous victims were caused by the same murder weapon.The lower body of the deceased was also splashed with sulfuric acid. Like the No. 1 victim, the deceased had had an abortion before being killed, but was not sexually assaulted when he was killed.

In addition, a fragment of a black plastic bag was found in the hand of the deceased, and traces of damage were also found on the seal of the black plastic bag used for sand. Torn from the black plastic bag used for sand.The deceased's fingerprints and multiple messy fingerprint residues were found on the plastic bag fragments, but since no fingerprints were found on the surface of the black plastic bag, it was impossible to verify the fingerprint residues on the plastic bag fragments.In addition, many rotting food residues and blood reactions were found in the black plastic bag, and after comparison, the blood belonged to the deceased.

As for the original purpose of the black plastic bag, the conclusions given by the forensic personnel and the test results are roughly the same. This kind of plastic bag is very common in daily life. Garbage recycling stations often use it to hold garbage, and there are often some homeless people or scavengers in society. Those who use this kind of black plastic bag as a backpack.

After checking the black plastic bag, it was also found that a small hole with a diameter of 4 mm was found at the bottom of the black plastic bag. The traces around the small hole were neat, and it was definitely not a natural rupture, but man-made.The sand in the bag is river sand, and the largest diameter is about 5 mm.This is enough to prove that the small hole on the bag was deliberately left by the murderer, the purpose is to let the fine sand inside flow out slowly, and delay the time when the body is found.

If this is the case, Yao and Shun are a little confused about what kind of medicine is sold in Wang Baocai's gourd.If it's for people to find the corpse, it's fine just like throwing the corpse before.But if it is to prevent people from discovering the body, why not use stones or heavier objects to sink the body?What is the purpose of tampering with the black plastic bag and trying all kinds of tricks just to delay the time when the body is found?
Calculating from time, Xiao Honghong should be the No.2 victim, and Li Yan should be the No.3 victim. The two of them are colleagues, but they have nothing to do with the No.1 victim, Hu Jing. The similarity is that both Hu Jing and Xiao Honghong had abortions before being killed, but this is only the similarity between the two, because Li Yan did not have abortions before being killed.

"What is the reason why Wang Baocai chose three women to kill him?"

This question has always troubled Yao and Shun, but he has never been able to find the answer. He is very clear that this question is a fatal breakthrough in the case. Once the answer is found, it will play a vital role in solving the case.

"If abortion is the common point, then Hu Jing and Xiao Honghong had abortions before they were killed, but Li Yan didn't. Why did Wang Baocai kill Li Yan? But if it weren't for abortion, the three deceased would have no similarities. So, where is the problem?"

Yao and Shun pondered over the questions that appeared in their minds, but the questions were tangled together like messy strings, and it seemed difficult to find the key knot for a while.

After thinking for a long time, seeing that he still couldn't figure out the clues, Yao and Shun gave up the idea of ​​finding clues from the dead, and decided to find another way, starting with some recent behaviors of Wang Baocai, trying to find clues from them.

Although there are very few clues left by the three murders, Yao and Shun believe that there is no perfect crime in this world. The reason why he has not found any clues must be that he has overlooked some subtle points. Because I haven't found it yet."

Yao and Shun carefully searched the records of scouts tracking Wang Baocai in recent days, and found that although Wang Baocai's daily whereabouts were very chaotic, on the surface it seemed that there was no purpose, but it was not the case. After careful observation, he found that Wang Baocai's daily whereabouts , there will always be a fixed location, and that is the hospital.

From this, Yao and Shun drew Wang Baocai's daily whereabouts on the map, and found that the seemingly erratic whereabouts were actually just superficial phenomena, because through the road map, it is not difficult to see that Wang Baocai's daily whereabouts are very It is purposeful. In his daily whereabouts, there will always be a hospital. If there is no hospital, there will be at least a community clinic. And in such a place, he will definitely spend more time than other places.

From this, Yao and Shun boldly guessed that some of the other destinations were probably just smoke deliberately released by Wang Baocai, because he already knew that he was being followed by the police. , That's why he goes out and wanders around every day, and deliberately pretends to be aimless, disturbing the sight of scouts.

"Hospital? Community clinic?"

The appearance of these two places brightened Yaoshun's eyes, and his brows that had been tightly locked before suddenly loosened a little. He seemed to think of some answers to the previous questions from it.

Among the three victims, both Hu Jing and Xiao Honghong had abortions before they were killed, and there were no more than two places where the abortions took place, a hospital and a community clinic. These two places coincided with the experiences of the two victims. Together, Yao and Shun believed that this could not be explained by a mere coincidence.

Moreover, there is another crucial detail in the murder case, that is, the lower bodies of the three deceased were all splashed with sulfuric acid. One feature, then it seems to be able to explain the reason.

Wang Baocai should have a hatred for women who have abortions, so he has murderous intentions towards this type of women. The reason why he would go to the hospital or community clinic is to find the target of the murder.And throwing acid on the lower body of the corpse should be out of a mentality of revenge against these women.

Although the guess is reasonable, there is one thing that baffles Yao and Shun, that is, Li Yan, the No.3 victim, she had no abortion before she was murdered, and she has no record of abortion, so what happened to her murder What about?
Under the situation of being puzzled, Yao and Shun didn't dig into the horns anymore, he shifted his focus to the possibility that had already appeared, especially to conduct a more detailed investigation on the matter of Hu Jing and Xiao Honghong's abortion, especially the matter of Xiao Honghong's abortion was the most critical Since Li Yan has no record of abortion, and she and Xiao Honghong are colleagues, she is very likely to know about Xiao Honghong's abortion, and it is even very likely that she accompanied Xiao Honghong to the abortion, which is why she was targeted by Wang Baocai and was murdered. .

However, while the investigation was in full swing, the scouts in charge of tracking Wang Baocai also reported that Wang Baocai had returned to Wangjia Village again. This situation also aroused Yao and Shun's vigilance. Of course, he was also very curious. Go back there a dozen times a year?So this time Yao and Shun decided to take the initiative and meet Wang Baocai for a while.

On the ruins of Wang Baocai's house in Wangjia Village, Wang Baocai sat alone among the rubble with his eyes closed, just sitting quietly, like a sculpture, without any unnecessary movements, no one knew whether he was thinking or remembering.

The sound of "click" tiles being crushed disturbed Wang Baocai. He opened his eyes, followed the sound, and saw Yao and Shun walking slowly towards him.

Wang Baocai didn't get up, but still sat where he was, and said calmly to Yaoshun who was walking towards him: "Officer Yao, why did you come here in such a leisurely way? Shouldn't you investigate the case at this time? Or should you Has the murderer been caught?"

"Can't I come here without solving the case? I came here just to see what you, the murderer, want to do!" Yao Shun walked up to Wang Baocai and said mercilessly.

"Officer, you always say that I'm the murderer, but you can't produce evidence, do you think this is interesting?" Wang Baocai mocked.

Yao and Shun didn't pay any attention to it. He walked around casually, and then said: "The fire back then was really terrible! After so many years, why don't you clean up the ruins?"

"Ruins? Clean up? I never thought this was a ruin, so why clean it up?" Wang Baocai said dissatisfiedly, "This is my home, and everything here is beautiful, but you ordinary people can't understand it."

"The most beautiful? Shouldn't it be the saddest and most hated thing for you? Here, you were bullied by your stepmother; here you were almost unable to go to college; here, your younger brother suffered misfortune to save you, It can be said that this ruin has carried too much hatred and pain for you, and the reason why you refuse to clean up everything here is because you want your hatred to continue endlessly."

After Yaoshun finished speaking, he squatted down and picked up a broken tile, and then cast his eyes on Wang Baocai who was still sitting there quietly. The two sharp eyes were like two extremely sharp flying knives, and they shot straight at Wang Baocai.

Wang Baocai didn't avoid Yaoshun's gaze, but just looked at him blankly, with no expression on his face, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at the moment.

The two of them just looked at each other silently, as if time had stopped at this moment. After about 2 minutes, Wang Bao broke the silence first.
