Chapter 2356: Chapter 2350-transportation
Translator: 549690339
“The snow gradually lessened, but it still continued to fall. It was all white and a little dazzling.”
The police car drove along the country road and finally stopped in front of a small bridge.
The small bridge was not an arched bridge. It was less than 20 ters long and looked a little old.
“The snow shovel truck had already removed the snow on the bridge, but the police’s focus was not on the bridge, but the area under it.”
“Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, Xi nna, Ran Tao, and Wu Xiumin, who got out of the car behind them, all went down the frozen river.”
“The surface temperature here was around-14 degrees Celsius, and the night temperature could reach a terrifying-30 degrees Celsius.”
“Therefore, the water in the river had been completely frozen, so there was no need to worry about safety.”
“Zhao Yu was wearing two layers of a down jacket, but it still felt very thin, as if the cold wind was blowing through his clothes.”
“The most awkward part was the nose. The air exhaled by the nose would instantly freeze into ice flowers, which would attach to the nose and stick to it repeatedly, making it very uncomfortable …”
“As the area was vast and sparsely populated, and the cri scene was under the bridge, the police did not put up a cordon.”
“At that mont, more than a dozen police officers were busy working under the bridge.”
They had already removed the body from under the bridge and put it in a body bag.
“After Zhao Yu and the others went down, they could only see the senior officer’s screws at the top, as well as the buckles and rope lassos used to hang people.”
“Zhao Yu carefully observed the environnt under the bridge and saw that the ice surface was only about three ters from the top of the bridge. If soone were to use a ladder on the ice surface, it would be very easy to reach the top of the bridge.”
“””Look …”” Captain Qiu pointed to the expanded tube at the top and said,””it’s exactly the sa as the previous two cases. Our technical staff found tal friction marks on the buckle. We suspect that the murderer may have used a pulley to hang the body!”””
Hmm …
“Zhao Yu nodded silently. He had already thought about this. It might not be difficult for the murderer to hang a person under the bridge, but after hanging them, they would need to secure them with ropes.”
“Therefore, he needed to use a more energy-saving pulley to assist him. After the body was fixed in place, he would remove the pulley.”
“””The murderer wouldn’t be so stupid, would he?”” Ran Tao looked up at the rope on the top of the bridge and asked,””does he want to make the victim hang herself?”””
“””That’s impossible,”” Captain Qiu said quickly.””The deceased was not wearing any clothes. How could a naked person run so far away to hang himself?”””
“Then, Zhao Yu ca to the body bag to check the body.”
The forensic staff quickly reached out and opened the body bag. There was a frozen body inside!
“””Look …”” Captain Qiu quickly stepped forward and introduced,””blonde hair, it’s another foreign woman … This is the third one!”””
“Zhao Yu took a closer look at the dead body. Although the body was frozen, he could still see so basic features. It was a slim, beautiful foreign woman, about 1.7 ters tall, and very young.”
Another foreign woman …
“Zhao Yu sighed to himself. In fact, this was the reason why the criminal Division had assigned him to handle this matter personally.”
“As the deceased were all foreigners, in order to avoid any mishandling of the case or triggering any diplomatic incidents, the criminal Division ended Zhao Yu’s leave in advance and asked him to lead the Special Investigation Group to investigate.”
“Because the notice was late, cui Lizhu, Zeng ke, and Zhang Peipei had not arrived yet.”
“Cui Lizhu was on her way from Hailan, but Zhang Peipei had already left for the United States with Gao Facai.”
“However, the criminal Division had appointed a new team of forensic doctors, and Zeng ke and the new team were already on the plane.”
“However, there was no airport in Manzhou. They had to fly to the provincial capital of Halong River and then drive here, so they could only arrive before dark.”
“At this ti, after Miao Ying checked the bodies, she asked Captain Qiu,””Captain Qiu, there have been two cases. Have you counted the missing foreign won recently?”””
“””If there is, does that an we can find out the identity of the third victim now?”””
“””Yes, yes …”” Captain Qiu nodded quickly.””Both cases were targeted at Young Russia won. After the second case was discovered, we were already counting!”
“””But, the strange thing is, not a single one …”” Captain Qiu waved his hand and said,””don’t look at it this way. We are a port city with nearly 20000 Russians in the city, but we have always been very peaceful here!”””
“””From New Year’s Day until now, there hasn’t been a single missing person report!”””
“””Oh …”” Miao Ying looked disappointed.”
“””Can you tell how long the deceased has been dead?”” Ran Tao asked the forensic doctor next to him.”
“The forensic doctor shook his head and said,””””No, because of the weather, the body is almost frozen. It’s hard to judge the ti of death by visual inspection.”””
“As he spoke, a gust of cold wind swept across the frozen river. The cold wind mixed with snowflakes made it difficult for everyone to open their eyes. Everyone quickly turned their backs to face the cold wind.”
“””Wow, it’s so cold …”” Xi ngna was already shivering from the cold. She couldn’t help but get closer to Zhao Yu and hold his arm.”
“Zhao Yu was most afraid of this hand, so he quickly moved to the side, not letting Xi nna have her way.”
“Because of Xi ngna’s sensitive identity, Zhao Yu didn’t tell Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin the truth, but only told them that she was sent by the criminal Division for an internship.”
“If they were to see Xi nna being so intimate with him, it would definitely cause suspicion and misunderstanding.”
“However, Xi ngna did not care about that. Persevering, she took another step closer to Zhao Yu and reached out her hand again.”
“At that mont, Xi nna’s actions had attracted Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin’s attention. Even Captain Qiu and the others looked at Zhao Yu.”
Damn it!
“Seeing that Xi ngna was about to grab his arm, Zhao Yu quickly grabbed Xi ngna’s wrist and pointed his wrist to the river.”
“””Oh …”” Then, Zhao Yu put on an act and said,””you’re saying that you’re curious about how the murderer brought the body to the scene, right?”””
“Zhao Yu was smart, and with one sentence, he brought everyone back to the case.”
“””Yes, yes …”” Ran Tao patted his head out of habit and said,””I was just wondering! The location was remote, and the snow had blocked the road. The murderer couldn’t have co here in a car, right?”
“””How … How did he get to the scene?”””
“””Well …”” After Captain Qiu heard this, he imdiately stepped forward and said to the crowd,””leaders, we have studied this problem before. We think that the murderer should have co here on a plow …”””
Plow-climbing …
“Upon hearing this, Xi nna was attracted to him and gave up on holding Zhao Yu’s arm.”
“””Yes, a snow sleigh!”” Captain Qiu pointed at the river and said,””horses, donkeys, and dogs!”
“””It was the sa for the first two cases. The snow blocked the road, making it difficult for cars to pass through. If the murderer didn’t have a helicopter or sothing, then he could only have one ans of transportation, which was a plow!”””
“””You’re saying …”” Miao Ying asked.””The murderer ca from the river on a sleigh. If there are marks on the sleigh, can we …”””
“Without waiting for Miao Ying to finish, Captain Qiu said helplessly,””””It’s impossible to find them by following the marks. The children from the nearby villages go to the river to ice skate almost every day. Moreover, it has snowed several tis recently, so they have long disappeared …”””
