Chapter 45: Kindness Meets Kindness
"From the information we have now, it seems that Wei Youfu went to the ecological protection forest in the suburbs of Xinhu. This is probably because he got some information from Jiang Jiang. It is even very likely that the ecological protection forest is the black forest in Jiang Jiang's painting."
"From birth to death, the deceased No. 8 did not leave any traces on the Internet. He was completely out of touch with the technological network world, as if he was kept in a place isolated from the world. Perhaps the home of the deceased No. 8, or the murderer's home, is in that ecologically protected forest!"
After hearing what Li Xue said, Han Fei was also a little excited.
At this point in the case, there is already a clear direction.
"That ecological forest is connected to the Xinhuyan Tomb Mountain. It is quite difficult to enter and search. We need to find more powerful clues to convince the higher-ups. Fortunately, my teacher and I made more critical discoveries in the subsequent investigation." Li Xue's voice was a little excited.
" What did you find?"
"The murderer underestimated Wei Youfu and Jiang Jiang!" Li Xue said with certainty: "The ecological forest is very large. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a black house in it. Only if you know the exact location can you do it."
"Jiang was able to draw the black forest, the black house and the group of headless people. He probably knew the location of the black house. It is estimated that the murderer would deliberately take this kind-hearted homeless man to visit the human flesh factory to torture him and constantly stimulate him to make him even crazier. Wei Youfu is just an ordinary office worker and has no experience in jungle exploration. But these two people created a miracle."
"General Jiang, who was so low in intelligence that he couldn't even form a complete sentence, successfully passed the location information of the black room to Wei Youfu, and Wei Youfu actually believed the words of the 'madman' on the roadside and went to investigate twice."
"Kindness met kindness, fulfilling each other's kindness and providing us with the most crucial clue to solve the case!"
"Wei Youfu didn't find anything when he went to the ecological forest for the first time, but the day before he died, he went to the ecological forest again. This time he was very likely very close to the black house! It is precisely because of this that the murderer, who had always been in a playful mood, took action directly!" Li Xue slowed down her voice: "Han Fei, is there anyone else around you?"
Han Fei looked around and said, "No, I'm the only one here."
"That's fine." Li Xue took a deep breath and said, "What I'm going to say next, don't tell anyone until the murderer is caught."
"OK."
"We checked the case files. When Wei Youfu was killed , everything on his computer and phone was cleared. Because the computers and phones of the other victims were also cleared, the police did not feel anything unusual at the time. They just thought the murderer was more cautious. They asked the technical department to restore the information on the phones and computers, but found nothing."
"But when the police were sorting out Wei Youfu's belongings, they found a piece of clothing covered in dirt in his second-hand car."
"The police didn't pay attention to it at the time and just took it back as a suspicious item."
"My teacher and I retrieved the evidence photos from that time, and used the computer to magnify and restore the incomplete and blurred pattern on the cloth. Then we used the latest data instruments to screen and compare the patterns in the online gallery, and finally found that the pattern was on a piece of children's clothing ten years ago."
"This is what it looks like when it's complete." Li Xue sent Han Fei a photo of children's clothing from a certain knockoff brand.
"Can this piece of children's clothing convince your leaders to re-investigate the human body puzzle? Mobilize a large number of police forces to search the Xinhu Ecological Forest?" Han Fei was a little confused.
"Take another look at this picture. This is the last time the missing child in the welfare home appeared in the surveillance video." Li Xue sent another picture to Han Fei. After reading it, Han Fei took a breath.
The child who always said he could see ghosts at night was wearing the children's clothes in the photo on the day he disappeared!
"The clothes of the missing children from the welfare home appeared in Wei Youfu's car. Wei Youfu had just returned from the ecological forest. The pieces of cloth covered in dirt must have been brought back by him from the forest. Then, he was brutally murdered by the murderer within a day."
"All of this forms a closed loop. The piece of cloth that appeared in Wei Youfu's car is real evidence! We have reason to believe that there is some connection between the murderer and the ecological forest."
It is impossible to restart the investigation just by reasoning. Li Xue and her teacher need a reason that can convince the higher-ups: "I won't tell you the specific time of action. What you need to do now is to pay attention to your own safety and wait for good news at home."
"Li Xue, I have a small question for you." After listening to what Li Xue said, Han Fei thought of something: "Assuming that the murderer of the human body puzzle lives in the ecological protection forest, then the death of the missing children in the welfare home should also be related to him. After all, Wei Youfu found the child's clothing fragments in the ecological protection forest."
"That makes sense, go on."
"Then do you think the missing child in the orphanage is the one who always says he sees ghosts at night? Is the ghost he sees at night the murderer?" Han Fei stood in the shadows, his brain working rapidly: "The murderer of the human puzzle adopted the eighth victim. The picture drawn by Jiang Jiang also shows that there are many headless people in the black forest. If those people are all children, then who do you think has the ability to get so many orphans and abandoned babies?"
"Director...of the welfare home?" Li Xue was shocked after hearing Han Fei's words.
In fact, Han Fei also remembered the short song sung by the deceased No. 8 - his elder brother and elder sister were sent far away, and his younger brothers and sisters became fewer and fewer. Only then did he realize that there was more than one child in the place where the deceased No. 8 lived. Taking care of these children was very troublesome and required a certain amount of experience.
"Also, Jiang Jiang was hired because he found the wallet of the director of the welfare home. As you said before, the murderer likes to enjoy the pleasure of being betrayed, hostile, and disgusted. The director of the welfare home just knows that Jiang Jiang is an extremely kind person." Han Fei's mind was turning faster and faster: "Do you think the director thinks that Jiang Jiang looks just right for his idea of kindness, ugly, low intelligence, and smelly, so he let Jiang Jiang work in the welfare home? He wants to treat Jiang Jiang as his toy?"
"It's possible. I'm going to call the teacher now and check some things."
Li Xue hung up the phone in a hurry. Han Fei was still standing in the shadow of the street, with information related to the case constantly flashing through his mind.
