As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

"It means the woman doesn't want him to touch the box." Qi Shan said loudly.

Ye Lin smiled and said, "It's almost the same. I don't know the specific reason yet, but I think there is a high possibility that there is a murder weapon or even a machine for cutting heads inside. Otherwise, it would be pulled by a man."

"But we can put this aside for now. There is another more profound question that you can think about first."

"That is..."

Ye Lin suddenly paused, his face changed, he slowly glanced around, and then said softly:

"why?"

"Why did the murderer cut off the head and take it away?"

"Is it for revenge? Or do you want to keep it as a collection?"

Ye Lin's serious expression and deliberately low voice made everyone shudder as if they had seen a ghost.

"Fuck, Captain Ye, don't scare me. You're making me panic."

"That's right, you are just scaring people on purpose." Qi Shan complained, patting her chest.

Ye Lin smiled and said, "Yes, I was trying to scare you just now, but we do need to consider the motive. What would a normal person do if he cut off his head?"

"I've seen a case in a foreign country where the murderer chopped off the victim's head and buried it separately, saying that this would turn him into a devil." Wang Longxin interrupted.

"I've also seen murderers collect their trophies and put them in a bottle to admire them." Old Zhao on the side also said evilly.

The more they talked, the colder everyone felt, as if a ghost was passing by.

"Okay, let's talk about this motivation later, let's talk about other things first." Yu Haifeng quickly interrupted everyone.

"Xiao Wang, have you checked the surveillance video? Where did that woman go in the end?" Yu Haifeng said to Wang Longxin.

This is the most important thing. Once you have tracked down a person, you can ask about his motives during the interrogation.

Wang Longxin stood up with an embarrassed look on his face and said softly, "Captain Yu, we lost him."

Yu Haifeng frowned, "I didn't ask you to follow me on the spot, how could you lose me?"

"No, it's just that after she walked there, there was a period of time that was not monitored, and then nothing happened." Wang Longxin muttered.

"Find it and play it so that we can all watch it together. What you said is not clear." Yu Haifeng said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Longxin quickly found the surveillance camera and released it.

This is the road surveillance at the entrance of the hotel. It can be seen that at around 2 a.m., the woman, the murderer, came out of the hotel and walked straight to the right.

After passing a traffic light, the surveillance disappeared.

"Captain Yu, we asked, and we found out that the nearly 300-meter surveillance camera on this road is broken and has not been repaired yet, so the murderer was not captured in this section." Wang Longxin explained.

"What about the ones behind? Keep tracking them down. How can such an obvious target, a woman, dragging a big box and flying?" Yu Haifeng couldn't help but raise his voice. Why did this case seem to be going against his will?

The identity of the deceased is unknown and the murderer cannot be found.

Wang Longxin's mouth twitched, and he said with a bitter face: "She really disappeared behind us. We checked the surveillance cameras at those intersections, and there was no sign of her until 5 o'clock."

While Wang Longxin was talking, Ye Lin took out the map and looked at the location where Wang Longxin mentioned the missing person was. There were many forks in the road. If he turned into a small road, he might not be able to find the person.

Ye Lin showed the map to Yu Haifeng, who was speechless. "Then how do we do it?"

"The old method is to check the passing vehicles first and see if we can see anything from the surveillance." Ye Lin said.

"Then do it." Yu Haifeng said unhappily, seeming a little irritable today.

"Then Xiao Wang, you and Qi Shan continue to watch the surveillance together."

"Old Zhao and Sun Jinghua continue to track down the identity of the deceased. According to the forensic doctor, the deceased is also in his 50s. We are investigating missing persons."

"Then I contacted various police stations to see if they had found anything resembling a human head."

"Okay, let's get moving."

Silent all night.

The morning sun is always so gentle, and it can drive away a lot of the stench that filled the room of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Everyone in the room climbed up from the table one after another and patted their stiff necks.

After breakfast, Yu Haifeng came out from the bureau leader and gathered everyone together again with bloodshot eyes and a serious expression.

"Director Gao just came to me and said that the leadership has taken notice of this case. We have a deadline to solve it."

When they heard the deadline for solving the case, everyone showed an expression of "as expected" on their faces.

Okay, no need to sleep for the next few days.

"Director Gao said that this case is too horrific, beheading. The details of the case have not been leaked yet, but once the public knows about it, it will definitely cause panic, so he asked us to solve the case within 5 days."

Everyone was silent, and Yu Haifeng also had a worried look on his face.

"Our priority now is to find the identity of the deceased, otherwise we will have no way to investigate."

"So, we can go to various hospitals and compare the DNA of the deceased. A man in his 50s will definitely need medical examinations and so on. Although this method is stupid, we can always find the source."

Yu Haifeng didn't want to do this, as it would be time-consuming and laborious. However, there was really no other way. His superiors had put pressure on him and he was given a time limit to solve the case. What could he do?

Just then, Zhao Jianfeng's phone rang. As soon as Old Zhao picked up the phone, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Captain Yu, the deceased's family has come to report the case."

Yu Haifeng was shocked. "Fuck, they are finally here. Let's go and take a look."

The case was reported to the Hehuachi Police Station, which has jurisdiction over the old city area, which is full of old, dilapidated and small houses, and most of the residents are elderly people.

The person who reported the case was Liu Jinmei. She reported that her husband Zhao Youquan was missing. Based on DNA comparison, he was the victim in the beheading case.

In the police station, Ye Lin took out photos of the deceased's clothes. The old lady recognized at a glance that these were her old man's clothes and started crying loudly.

While comforting Liu Jinmei, Ye Lin and his colleagues learned about Zhao Youquan's basic situation from the police station.

Zhao Youquan, male, 56 years old, is a retired worker from a large state-owned factory. He retired due to illness and has been staying at home for several years. His wife, Liu Jinmei, is also a retired worker from the same factory.

The community where the two live now is the former collective housing of the factory. They have a son, but he went to another place to take the college entrance examination and he also works in another place. The old couple usually live on their own.

Although the retirement salary is not high, the expenses of the two of them are not that big either, so they live a fairly comfortable life.

Liu Jinmei is a traditional housewife who usually chats with her neighbors downstairs.

But Zhao Youquan was an extrovert and liked drinking and chatting.

After retirement, I don’t know what got me started, but I suddenly fell in love with dancing.
