Shang Lei frowned: "Is it too dangerous for you to investigate these alone?"

Xiao Hong chuckled: "Cargoyle, why don't we practice?"

Thinking of Xiao Hong's skills, Shang Lei didn't say much, but just told Xiao Hong to be careful when he went out. By the way, he always felt relieved when he saw Xiao Hong always act alone.

Thinking of Xiao Hong's ability, Shang Lei wondered if he would react to the bureau and include Xiao Hong as a non-staff member. This way of cooperating with the investigation of the case would make it easier for him to watch Xiao Hong under his nose.

Shang Lei and Xiao Hong were divided into two groups. While Shang Lei was working overtime in the bureau, Xiao Hong traveled all around the surrounding villages near Lianhua Village.

She noticed that the reservoir was very large and there was a hidden embankment in the middle. The embankment was almost the deepest part of the reservoir. The corpse was found at the embankment, which means that the murderer should know the reservoir well.

This is either the villagers around the reservoir or the people who know a lot about it. Since it is to throw away the body, it must be chosen in the late night and the quiet time.

Jiang Chan: "The most urgent task is to determine the identity of the deceased first. Is Shang Lei still not sure the identity of the deceased?"

Xiao Hong: "He is comparing with the missing persons. The forensic doctor reported that the deceased was about 1.65 meters tall and about 50 years old. The death time was five to six years ago. Shang Lei was contacting the family of the missing person to come to the municipal bureau for DNA pairing, which all took time."

Jiang Chan: "Well, if you confirm the identity of the deceased, this is also a minimum breakthrough. The case has been long and a lot of evidence has been destroyed. Now you are at a loss."

Jiang Chan: "Let's make an assumption, assuming that the murderer threw the body at night. Six years ago, the farmhouse in Lianhua Village had not yet begun to develop, and the layout of Lianhua Village is like this."

Jiang Chan's fingers moved, and the layout diagram of the reservoir surrounding the light screen in front of Xiao Hong appeared.

"The reservoir is desolate, and each village has a path leading to the reservoir. I calculated that there are three paths in total, namely here, here, and here."

"The salvage personnel did not find the murder weapon in the reservoir, and there are two possibilities."

Xiao Hong’s interface: “One is that the murderer threw the weapon to another place, and the other is that the murderer did not deal with the weapon when he threw the body, and the weapon was still in his hands.”

"If it is the latter type, it will be even more difficult. Looking for needles in a haystack, where can I find him?"

Jiang Chan: "Let's wait for the news from Shang Lei first. Let's walk these paths today to see if we can find anything."

There are three paths next to the reservoir, leading to the nearby Lianhua Village, Yangjia Village and Caojia Village. Because the development of the Lianhua Village farmhouse, the path from Lianhua Village to the reservoir is the best to pass.

The paths in Yangjia Village and Caojia Village are relatively remote, but bicycles or electric vehicles can still be driven in.

Xiao Hong walked back and forth three times on these three roads, and it took more than two hours to walk three times. Unfortunately, she didn't find anything unusual on the road, and she was not discouraged.

If she wanted to deal with the murder weapon, she would never throw it on the road, but would hide it in a hidden place. She remembered that there was no clothes on the salvaged corpse. Could the murderer have already dealt with the victim's clothes?

The best way to deal with it is to incinerate.

When Xiao Hong was walking on the path leading to the reservoir in Caojia Village for the fourth time, Jiang Chan came down from the small earth slope next to her: "I found it there, and I found a machete in the grass."

Following Jiang Chan's guidance, Xiao Hong crawled into the woods by the road. In the depths of the woods, there was a machete in the place hidden by the bushes. The back of the machete was exposed, and the exposed area was already rusted.

Xiao Hong did not touch these rashly, but took photos and evidence first, and then called Shang Lei. She turned around, "If this is the weapon, it is also a breakthrough. You can check where this machete was bought."

Jiang Chan carefully observed the machete: "It's a bit difficult. I think this machete is very ordinary and can be bought in the grocery store."

Xiao Hong had a different idea: "Often people rarely have such a large machete at home. I infer that this should be bought by the murderer now. No matter what, let's check around the surrounding areas and see if there are such machetes for sale in the surrounding stores."

Shang Lei came quickly. Seeing Shang Lei coming here in person, Xiao Hong raised his eyebrows: "Why did you go there by yourself? Aren't you very busy with the matter at hand?"

Shang Lei pinched her finger: "This is an important clue, I always have to come and take a look."

"Have the identity of the victim been confirmed?" If it were before, Xiao Hong would never ask this sentence. Didn't this be the day before yesterday when she came down as an extra-staff consultant in the municipal bureau? Xiao Hong was justified in asking these questions.

Shang Lei pinched his eyebrows and said, "Not yet, there are ten missing persons who meet the conditions. Eight have come here to compare them. The remaining two families will not arrive tomorrow."

Xiao Hong: "They are working in another place? Are they coming here so far?"

Shang Lei: "Yes, forensic test reports that the deceased had ruptures on the skull of the deceased, and the contact area of ​​the wound was irregularly round, but it was smaller than the area of ​​the hammer. It was speculated that it was caused by the wine bottle."

"At least I know someone I can know when I can drink together." Xiao Hong's index finger was holding her chin, and her brain was running rapidly: "We know too little, and we can't even think of something if we want to break our heads."

"Boss, we're here." Xiao Liu shouted, and Shang Lei looked at Xiao Hong: "Go back together?"

Xiao Hong: "Okay, let's go back together. I've seen the ground around me."

On the way back, Shang Lei and Xiao Hong talked about two other missing people, one was Wang Honglin and the other was Qian Keren. Both of their families were in other places.

Wang Honglin divorced in his early years and had a daughter under his knees. Her daughter lived in S Province with her mother. She usually called to care about her. Six years ago, Wang Honglin's daughter reported the case and said that her father was missing.

Qian Keren disappeared for seven or eight years. From this point of view, it is very likely that the deceased was Wang Honglin.

The next day, Wang Honglin's daughter arrived at the municipal bureau. Shang Lei took her to do a DNA pairing. After the pairing results came out, it was confirmed that the deceased was Wang Honglin.

Regarding this result, Wang Honglin's daughter had no expression on her face, as if Wang Honglin's murder had no major impact on her.
