Last night, Zhao Donglai specifically instructed everyone to co to work earlier in the morning, so Sun Jun set his alarm twenty minutes ahead.
He eagerly thought he would be the first one today, yet reality proved he was still too young.
His team leader is unbeatable when it cos to going the extra mile!
The two of them chatted briefly, and then Wang Yong and the others gradually walked into the office, making the place lively.
At seven-thirty, Zhao Donglai, who usually arrives right on ti, arrived at the criminal investigation team in a hurry.
He soon notified everyone to imdiately go to the eting room to discuss the case.
Five minutes later, seeing everyone had arrived, Zhao Donglai cleared his throat and spoke while holding a forensic report, "Everyone, after the deceased’s parents identified the body last night, it is confird that the deceased is Xu Mingqing."
"Additionally, the forensic report is out. The deceased’s ti of death should be between midnight and two AM on the 5th. The deceased’s skull was shattered, and no abnormal substances were detected in the blood or gastric fluids, indicative of death by blunt force trauma. Through comparison, the weapon used was confird to be the stone extracted from the cri scene. Furthermore, male sen was found at the deceased’s anus, indicating the deceased indeed suffered male harassnt prior to death."
Having said this, he turned to Luo Fei, "Luo Fei, the interrogation records of the deceased’s parents are with you. Now, you tell us the details."
When Wang Lei and the others handed over their work earlier, they told him Luo Fei had taken it.
"Alright, Captain Zhao."
Luo Fei got up, walked to the front, and simply operated the computer. The clues he summarized this morning were all displayed on the big screen.
"According to the deceased’s parents, the deceased left ho on the morning five days ago, which is the 5th of this month. At that ti, the deceased showed no abnormalities and only ntioned wanting to go to the county to find work. He never returned after that. However, because the deceased had frequently been out with friends for several days, his parents did not report it. Later, Xu Mingqing’s body was discovered."
"The forensic report suggests the deceased was likely killed the night he left ho. But through inquiries, it was found that the deceased’s sexual orientation is normal, has no bad habits, and most of his friends are forr classmates, no affiliations with social elents, although this still needs verification."
After explaining the basics, Luo Fei began the final summary, "So, what we need to figure out first is whether the deceased went out to genuinely find work or to et soone. And he went to the county, so why did he end up in Yang Family Village?"
Then, he returned to his seat.
Zhao Donglai glanced at everyone, "Now that everyone is aware of the basic situation, let’s act according to yesterday’s arrangents."
Everyone imdiately took action.
Luo Fei also led the third group’s mbers heading toward Wenshui Town.
In the car, Luo Fei appeared to be resting with his eyes closed but was actually thinking about several points of suspicion.
If the deceased really went to the county, he should have gone directly ho upon returning to the town. However, Xu Family Town and Yang Family Village are in opposite directions, which implies he likely went to Yang Family Village with the murderer.
But through village visits yesterday, Yang Family Village’s residents claid they hadn’t seen any outsiders during this period, indicating they likely went there after dark, hence nobody saw them.
The question now is, how did the murderer manage to have the deceased voluntarily go to Yang Family Village, and choosing Yang Family implies they must be familiar with the place. Even if they aren’t from the nearby villages, they must frequently visit that area.
Another thing is checking the transportation records from that day to confirm if the deceased went to the county, when he returned, and if any companions were traveling with him...
Thinking of this, he promptly said to Wang Yong who was driving, "Wang Yong, once we reach the town, go to the bus terminal to check if there are records of the deceased taking a bus to the county on the 5th, and rember to copy that day’s surveillance."
Wang Yong nodded in agreent.
Sun Jun then asked, "Leader, which village shall we investigate today?"
"Let’s start by checking out Shanhe Village below Yang Family Village."
The others naturally had no objections, and soon the car reached the town, Wang Yong said sothing and then got off, while the remaining headed straight for Shanhe Village.
It’s not yet nine in the morning, but the road already had quite a few vehicles, mostly agricultural tricycles and motorcycles.
The group hadn’t driven far when a tricycle loaded with various scrap paper and junk blocked their way from the front. Whether it was overloaded, the tricycle moved slowly like a snail in the middle of the road.
The country roads are narrow, and Sun Jun, driving several tis, tried and failed to pass, resorting to honking angrily, but the front seed not to hear.
"What’s wrong with this person, slow and staying in the middle? Does he understand traffic laws at all!"
Listening to Sun Jun’s complaints, Zhaocheng sighed, "It’s like this in rural areas; there are no traffic cops managing, so many people drive as they wish."
"It’s wasting our ti..."
Sun Jun continued to grumble, and Luo Fei suddenly pondered aloud, "Do you think people who collect recyclables are familiar with the terrain in the surrounding villages?"
