After hearing this, everyone nodded. Yu Ping said, "There are a lot of cabbage nearby. You can check it one by one to see if the remaining corpses are hidden in the cabbage."

Shaodong continued: "I just asked, there is only this cabbage field in Xujiagou. Zhang Hao and Ma Si. You two go check the cabbage field one by one, pay attention to see if there are any foreign objects wrapped in it. There are also canals and wells nearby. Village Chief Xu will lead the way, and the rest will go with me. What I worry most now is that the body is thrown in the Red River. In this way, it will be very difficult to find it."

The troops were divided into two groups and each took their own missions.

Zhang Hao and Ma Si and the others flipped the nearby cabbage fields, but found no abnormalities.

Under the leadership of Village Chief Xu, Shaodong and his group found no other body parts in the water wells and ditch.

Shao Dong frowned and called the Municipal Bureau. Deputy Director Guo invited a salvage team from the city to assist in the case handling.

At noon, Shaodong and others bought some buns and steamed buns in the village. Everyone ate some simple food in the car and tidied them up.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the city's salvage team led three salvage boats to the Hong River bank of Xujiagou. This professional salvage team often cooperated with the police and became familiar with this kind of thing. After arriving at the location, they immediately explored and fished near the Hong River bank.

The salvage team's tools are relatively advanced and can conduct a dragnet-style search. This tool sinks into the water and moves with the boat. Professionals wearing diving suits are ready to go into the water for visits at any time.

As a result, it came out soon. After only fifteen minutes of operation of the salvage team, two cabbages were fished out in the Red River, less than one kilometer away from the Xujiagou case site.

The outside was also trapped with a rope. After Wang Bo took a photo to collect evidence, he opened the cabbage, and there were two pieces of human tissue inside.

The salvage continued until the next night. In the Honghe area five kilometers away from Xujiagou, six cabbage-wrapped corpses and five cabbages wrapped in oil paper were salvaged. At this point, the cabbages had basically been collected.

Wuwei brought the collected corpses back to the municipal bureau and conducted an autopsy and identification overnight.

In the office of the five groups, Wu Wei sat around with everyone after entering the house and threw the appraisal book on the table. Wang Bo picked up the appraisal book and read it: "The deceased woman, between 25 and 30 years old, is about 1.6 meters tall, weighs about 60 kilograms, is relatively plump, has a slightly deformed breast and lumbar breast, and is in a sunken shape. There is a natural black and purple birthmark on the lumbar spine, with a diameter of about one centimeter. After the body was spliced, there were obvious strangulations on the neck. Combined with the lungs and respiratory system conditions, it was determined to be violent asphyxiation and died of death. The death was three days ago, that is, around the early morning of the 28th. A stomach examination showed that the deceased had eaten rice, cabbage and a little pork within two hours before being killed."

After Wang Bo finished reading, he looked at Shao Dong.

Weiwu said: "Yes, there is another point. I will add that the skin surface of the deceased's palm is relatively rough. I have been engaged in manual labor mainly holding tools for a long time before his death. However, the outermost layer of the skin of his hands has begun to soften, indicating that he had left physical labor in three months to six months before his death. In addition, the wear of the deceased's teeth is greater than that of normal age. This means that he often chewed hard foods, such as fried broad bean rice and fried soybeans. This food has always been common in rural areas of our city. And from the perspective of dismemberment, the fracture surface of the corpse is very neat. There are two possibilities: one is a sharp weapon such as an axe, a bone-cutting knife used by the murderer, and it is very powerful. It is very likely that he has been engaged in lumberjacks, butchers or manual laborers. There are also an automatic weapon used by the murderer, such as chainsaws, electric cutting knives, etc., but there are not many such tools on the market, so the possibility is smaller."

Yu Ping analyzed: "In other words, most of the deceased are from low-level backgrounds and should be economically average farmers. It is very likely that they will live in the city a few months ago."

Shao Dong nodded and said, "This case is set as a 128 murder case. The fifth group set up a special investigation team. I am the team leader. The municipal bureau requires the case to be solved quickly. The next step is to solve the case. First, find the source of the corpse, and second, investigate. Focusing on Xujiagou, where the corpse was found, the masses were mobilized within a radius of five kilometers to find clues, and finally find the real culprit!"

It is easy to say but difficult to do. City C is a large population with a permanent population of about 5 million. Although the media is now developed, it is actually very difficult to check a female missing person in her 20s out of 5 million people.

Moreover, the task force has very limited police force, and it is not easy to obtain assistance from police stations at all levels.

The task force decided to first publish the source information of the corpse through the media, so that public security organs and police stations at all levels can jointly release the invocation of corpse search.

Given that the location where the dismembered body was found was Xujiagou, the task force decided to start with Xujiagou as the center focus and radiate outward from all sides.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and every household is preparing to celebrate the New Year. Both in cities and rural areas are filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

However, the task force members had a rare breath. Deputy Director Guo called to inquire about the case every day, and everyone was under great pressure.

Tens of thousands of photos and body shape descriptions of the deceased's corpse recognition notices have spread to enterprises, institutions, community committees, public security bureaus, detention centers and police stations across the city.

At the same time, Shaodong led the task force to Xujiagou to conduct a large-scale investigation.

On the afternoon of January 31, the task force received a report from the Beiguan District Police Station in City C. There were people in the area of ​​the police station that the deceased was Wang Xingchen, the daughter of Wang Zhihui, a resident of the Xiatang Neighborhood Committee of Beiguan District. The registered staff of the police station retrieved Wang Xingchen's information, which was consistent with the age of the dead body and had similar figure characteristics.

Shaodong and Yu Ping immediately drove to Beiguan District Police Station to verify.

Xiao Liu, a registered residence officer at the Beiguan District Police Station, introduced the specific situation to Shaodong.

This morning, the Xiatang Neighborhood Committee sent the notice to the public for identification. Not long after, a retired cadre named Xia came to the police station and told the police that Wang Xingchen, the daughter of his neighbor Wang Zhihui, who lived not far from his home, was very similar to the deceased in the photo.

Xiao Liu, a registered household registration staff member, immediately retrieved Wang Xingchen's household registration information. There were indeed great similarities when looking at the photos. Moreover, his age was 21 years old, which also matched the age of the corpse.

Xiao Liu first came to Wang Zhihui's home according to his address in his household registration. Unfortunately, the door of the home was locked and no one lived there.

I came to the neighborhood committee again and found the staff to find out the situation. According to the staff, Wang Xingchen worked in City C after graduating from high school. He occasionally went home to check it out, but he lived in City C most of his time.

Xiao Liu did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he immediately reported the situation to the director. After hearing this, the director sorted out the information and reported it to the municipal bureau.

Shaodong analyzed that Wang Xingchen did miscellaneous work in a hot pot restaurant. After sweeping the floor and washing the plates, the skin on his hands was inevitably rough, which was similar to the deceased and his age was consistent, so he had to find out.

Shao Dong and Yu Ping asked Xiao Liu to lead the way and came to Wang Zhihui's residence, which was still led by General Iron.

Wang Zhihui's house is very small. From the appearance, it can be seen that the family is not very rich and belongs to the relatively poor category.

This is also consistent with the characteristics of the deceased after analysis. Yu Ping thinks there is a chance, but Shao Dong always thinks something is wrong.

The three of them stood at the door for a while. Shaodong looked at the situation from his neighbors nearby and asked a few people, but they didn't know much about it.

Finally, I finally found an insider in a convenience store. According to the owner of the convenience store, Wang Xingchen worked in a hot pot restaurant in City C. He mainly did miscellaneous work, just to greet customers. After the guests finished eating, they swept the floor and mopped the floor to clean up the dishes. Because this hot pot restaurant is a national chain, the salary is pretty good. Wang Xingchen used to go home to check it out on weekends, but in the past six months, he has never seen Wang Xingchen.

Shaodong checked the phone number of this hot pot restaurant and immediately called.

After revealing his identity, the other party informed: Wang Xingchen has not come to work for a month and has not asked for leave. The hot pot restaurant has listed Wang Xingchen as a resignation.

Moreover, the other party said with regret that Wang Xingchen is a girl who is very honest and diligent, and has a relatively steady personality. She also feels very sorry for her sudden resignation from the manager of the hot pot restaurant.

After hanging up the phone, the convenience store owner told Shao Dong that Wang Zhihui was also at work and was usually not at home during the day and would go home at night.

Shaodong decided that everyone would sit in the convenience store and wait for Wang Zhihui to go home.

Shaodong and Xiao Liu were chatting. As a criminal policeman, they had high patience in their professional habits. It is common for them to stay for ten days and half a month. This time is nothing. After more than two hours, the owner of the convenience store suddenly shouted: "Old Wang is back, he is the one you are looking for."

"Do work." Shao Dong stood up and said.

Compared to Shaodong, the police officer Xiao Liu met Wang Zhihui several times due to work relationships, and he was familiar with each other. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket while walking, handed them over and greeted: "Lao Wang, I am Xiao Liu from the police station."

Wang Zhihui turned around and took the cigarette and nodded, "I remember, Officer Liu."

Xiao Liu also lit a cigarette and gave the lighter over, "I want to find out something to you, Lao Wang, where is your daughter Wang Xingchen?"

Shao Dong noticed that when he mentioned his daughter, a hint of panic flashed in Wang Zhihui's eyes.

"Daughter? She works in the city. Is there anything wrong?"

"Where will she work?" Xiao Liu asked.

“In the hot pot restaurant.”

"How often does she usually come back?"

Wang Zhihui answered perfunctorily: "It's normal not to come back for a few months."

Xiao Liu said seriously: "Old Wang, you are a little dishonest."

Wang Zhihui threw away the cigarette and frowned and said, "What's the matter? I still have to go home to cook."

Seeing that his attitude was a little annoyed, Xiao Liu was about to say something, but was stopped by Shaodong.
