Mystery Hunter - Chapter 153

[Chapter 153 Mottled Water Tower]

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on Yuan Jun’s face through the window, he heard someone knocking on the door. Yuan Jun looked at his watch and found that it was only half past five. He got up from the bed hazy, put his clothes on his body, and then went to open the door.

Standing at the door was Jiang He. Yuan Jun saw Jiang He with unkempt hair at a glance. It looked like he had not washed himself yet.

Seeing Yuan Jun, Jiang He said directly, “We will go to Nanwan right now. Everyone should go to work around seven o’clock. If we want to find the person who wrote the note, we must act now.”

“Okay, then. Wait for me to wash my face and brush my teeth.” Yuan Jun said.

Jiang He grabbed Yuan Jun directly, and said, “Let’s go now, Xu Yiman, Shao Lao and Guan Deng are already waiting.”

Before Yuan Jun could react, he was pulled away by Jiang He.

When the two went downstairs, they saw three people from the task force next to a police car.

Xu Yiman joked: “Did you two come down with the bird’s nest on your back?”

Yuan Jun was very helpless: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier, the time was so tight, I didn’t have time to dress up.”

Xu Yiman looked at it. Jiang He: “I called Jiang He an hour in advance. I didn’t have your phone number, so I asked Jiang He to inform you. Didn’t Jiang He tell you?”

Yuan Jun looked at Jiang He and then at Xu Yiman: ” Do you think Jiang He looks like someone who will set aside time to dress up…” The

five people got into the car, this time Xu Yiman drove the car, Yuan Jun in the back seat was dazed, he was just yesterday After returning from the capital, I was tired all the way, and I participated in An Xiaofang’s arrest. I finally got a good night’s sleep, but I didn’t get enough sleep. Just when Yuan Jun was about to fall asleep, the car stopped and Nanwan Street arrived.

Guan Deng did not get out of the car, he stayed in the car, while the rest of the people got out of the car.

What Mr. Shao was holding was Captain Liu’s search report yesterday. He basically searched the bungalows north of the dry well. The residents of that bungalow are basically farmers, who made a living by farming a few years ago. Later, some developers took a fancy to the farmland in Nanwan, and they negotiated with the villagers of Nanwan Village and purchased the farmland.

The original location of the cultivated land was on the east side of the dry well, and now it has become a piece of terracotta. Due to the problem of capital turnover, developers have not carried out development for several years.

Captain Liu’s focus is on these farmers, because in Captain Liu’s view, only farmers can own paraquat. Today’s citizens probably don’t even know what paraquat is, and it’s not realistic to buy it at home.

As the captain of the criminal police who succeeded Wang Chao, this kind of thinking is completely logical. But this contradicts the note. The person who wrote the note must be a literate person.

Shao Lao looked left and right, and said to the rest of the people: “The north section of Nanwan Street is Nanwan Village. Most of the people living in the village are Nanwan Villagers. The Nanwan Villagers have received a lot of money. Many people have bought houses in the city, and there are not many households living in Nanwan Village. Captain Liu did all the investigations yesterday, and he did not find the first scene.”

Shao Lao turned his head and looked to the side: “So Said that we don’t need to investigate the north side, the east side is a deserted open space, and there are no footprints when we find the scene, so we don’t need to think about it. Only the west side and the south side are left, and the west side is an old-fashioned building, an open community, six floors, no surveillance, no elevator The structure of the households is complex, and the households have many occupations.”

“South.” Mr. Shao turned to the south, pointed to the distance, and said, “The south is a small two-story building with a single-family house, and the developer originally encircled that land. However, due to the inconsistent opinions on the compensation payment required by the residents, it was not demolished in the end. It is close to the suburbs, and many people have also moved out.”

After speaking, Mr. Shao leaned down and said to Guan Deng in the car: “So I let Did you look up the information about the residents in the south?”

Guan Deng handed out a mobile phone with a photo of a person on it, with the person’s information next to the photo.

Shao Lao turned left and right, and that was a personal message.

“Go!” Shao Lao said.

Xu Yiman looked left and right and asked, “Are we going to a building or a single-family house?”

Lao Shao pointed to the guide and said, “Looking at how Deng Xiangyu died, one of his arms was cut off. If the murderer has There is no reason to give up the condition of dismembering the corpse after only taking off one arm. Moreover, the building is crowded with people, and it is not an easy task to get the child’s body down from the building.”

“The most important thing is, why did Deng Xiangyu? Want to go upstairs with a stranger? Did Deng Xiangyu make an appointment temporarily, or did Deng Xiangyu make an appointment with someone long ago? But Guan Deng investigated that the last person Deng Xiangyu contacted was An Xiaofang. Besides, where did Deng Xiangyu’s backpack go? Mr. Shao raised two questions: “So I think the first scene should be in the south, what do you think Jiang He?” As

Jiang He walked to the south, he said, “I don’t have any evidence yet, but there are a lot of doubts. To prove that Deng Xiangyu’s death is very illogical, if I have to find a suitable logic for these doubts, I think that he actually died of suicide. But I am only 50% sure, there is no way to make a conclusion. Reliable.”

“Suicide?” Xu Yiman said, “This, it doesn’t seem impossible.”

Shao Lao nodded and said, “Jiang He’s guess is consistent with my feeling, and I also think that Deng Xiangyu is actually It’s suicide.”

“Suicide?” Yuan Jun shook his head and said, “This is a bit unreasonable, isn’t it? How did he cut off his arm by himself? Was it because he was afraid that he would not die? So you cut off your arm and then drank poison?”

“So this is the most crucial point.”

After walking for about fifteen minutes, they came to the first small building.

The courtyard wall is three meters high, and the inside of the courtyard cannot be seen from the outside. Each two-story building is separated by a certain distance, that is to say, from the second floor of a small building, you can only vaguely see the courtyard of another small building. And there is a roof on the south side of the yard, and what happens below cannot be seen by the rest of the people.

The building with this structure makes the whole courtyard mysterious, suitable for those who like quiet and don’t like being disturbed.

And this is in line with Shao Lao’s inference.

Mr. Shao did not rush to investigate one by one, but led everyone around the small buildings one by one. As he walked around, he swiped the screen of his mobile phone with his fingers, and the information of each household head flashed in front of Mr. Shao’s eyes. And all the pictures here are of men.

Shao Lao slid very fast, and the pictures flew by quickly. Xu Yiman could hardly see these people on the screen, but he looked at Shao Lao with relish.

Jiang He didn’t look at the photos, because Jiang He didn’t quite believe that a person could tell whether a person was suspected of committing a crime just by looking at the other person’s appearance. This was metaphysics in Jiang He’s view. But for Shao Lao, who is proficient in psychology, this is not metaphysics, but an experience accumulated over a long period of time in solving cases, which is often called intuition by others.

At this moment, Jiang He noticed that not far from this two-story building, there was a water tower standing tall.

Old Shao kept walking, and Jiang He also walked, but his eyes never left the water tower.

This water tower has existed for a long time. Judging from the appearance of the water tower, the water tower has become brown-red. A section of the ladder next to it has been broken. The ladder is about two meters away from the ground. Children will definitely not be able to climb up. Even an adult, it is not so easy to climb up.

The support of the water tower is supported by pure metal. Except for the four metal pillars that are perpendicular to the ground, out of the consideration of the inclination of the water tower, there are eight inclined metal bars around the water tower. The angle of the oblique line of the metal bar is 45 degrees, and it supports the platform obliquely upward, and on the top of the platform is a large metal bucket held by several people.

Jiang He walked over and stood beside a metal slash.

One side of the metal slash is against the water tower platform, while the other side protrudes into the ground. I don’t know how deep it is buried, but it looks very solid. The metal slashes are about two centimeters wide and covered with rust. Jiang He tapped it with his hand and shook it. The slash was still strong. It seemed that the outside was a layer of iron, and the inside was another metal. The iron was specially used to protect the metal inside from being damaged by the wind and the sun.

And over the years, the iron sheets in many places have been opened, some have fallen off, but some have stuck out abruptly, forming pieces of iron hanging in the air.

And if there are any children playing here, it is very likely that they will be scratched by these iron pieces if they are not careful.

Jiang He walked to the side of a piece of iron and gently placed it with his hands. Although the iron was very thin, it was precisely because of this that the edge of the iron was very sharp. Jiang He raised his head and looked at it. The sunlight was not dazzling at the moment, but under the not-dazzling sunlight, Jiang He saw pieces of iron sheets that were turned up in the air.

The doubts in Jiang He’s heart were a little less, Jiang He understood that he was 80% sure of his guess.

“It’s here.” The

two said in unison.

One is Jiang He, and the other is Lao Shao. It’s just that the two people’s concerns are different. One is looking at the tall water tower, while the other is looking at a small building facing the water tower.

The two turned their backs to each other, but they both heard each other’s voices.

“It seems right.” Xu Yiman said, “Since you both think it’s here, it must be here.”

“Let’s go in…”

Before Shao Lao’s words were finished, his cell phone rang.

When Shao Lao finished answering the phone, his face turned ugly.
