Chapter 48 The murderer disappeared in the alley
"Did you have any other contact during work?" Yu Miaomiao asked.
"I'm busy here. Apart from work contact, we hardly see each other in private. After all, we're not that close. And he knows some of my past. If we get to know each other more, I'm afraid he'll think he's familiar with me and say nonsense in public." Han Zibao poured himself another cup of tea and said, "Two officers, I've told you everything I know. Can you please not report my situation to Baijia about my time in prison and my life as a social worker?"
"We are here just to learn about Xu Wenbin's situation. We are not interested in other things." Yu Miaomiao glanced at Han Yun and stood up. "Xu Wenbin is the victim, but also the murderer. We found a female corpse in the house he rented."
Upon hearing this, Han Zibao's face changed and he took a breath of cold air: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to help him find a job."
"You should have known what kind of person he is, since he paid someone to kidnap that girl." Han Yun also stood up, walked around the coffee table, and said as he walked out of the office: "If you remember anything, I hope you can contact us."
Yu Miaomiao left her phone number and left the office. The two went downstairs and got back in the car. Yu Miaomiao asked, "Do you believe that Han Zibao didn't know anything about Xu Wenbin?"
"He shouldn't have to lie." Han Yun crossed his arms in front of him, leaned against the passenger seat and closed his eyes and said, "Han Zibao least wants to contact people he knew before. After all, if the news of his imprisonment gets out, his position in the company may be in jeopardy."
"Why do I feel like this case can't be investigated any further?" Yu Miaomiao said thoughtfully.
"If the case has reached a dead end, then go back to the starting point and sort out the clues again." Han Yun slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yu Miaomiao: "Let's go to the crime scene again."
Yu Miaomiao seemed to have adapted to Han Yun's strange behavior. She drove away without questioning. At the crime scene on Mingang Road, the cordon had been removed and traffic was restored. After Han Yun got out of the car, he came to the place where Xu Wenbin was killed, lay down flat, slowly closed his eyes, and reorganized all the details he had investigated in the past two days.
First, Xu Wenbin was killed after coming out of Baijia Supermarket the previous night, and then a female corpse was found in the rental house. It was confirmed that the female corpse was Feng Qiaoqiao, a single girl in the same building. In addition, Han Zibao learned that Xu Wenbin had fallen in love with a girl from the same school when he was in society and was humiliated, so he had a new evil intention and kidnapped and raped her, causing the girl to jump off the building. This incident also left Xu Wenbin with a psychological shadow, and he dared not pursue women from then on. It was also this that caused Xu Wenbin's long-term repressed personality to become distorted, and he began to use peeping and following women to relieve his stress, which eventually turned into murder and raping corpses.
That is, after Xu Wenbin killed and raped Feng Qiaoqiao, he was also killed. However, the method used to kill him was the same as the murder in his hometown of Lijia Village in 2000. In other words, the murderer should also know about the Lijia Village incident? Is it possible that the murderer also saw the article on the Internet and imitated the same method?
In Lijia Village, the murderer used the Red Light Arhat to attract the villagers and drew onlookers. The murderer in this case also used the Red Light Arhat to attract nearby residents. When the Red Light Arhat appeared, the entire murder case should have been over, but because it was dark at the time, the residents in the building discovered the Red Light Arhat and did not find the body lying on the ground.
But there is one thing, when the Red Light Arhat appeared, there should have been a corresponding projection device, but no device was found at the scene. In other words, the murderer created the Red Light Arhat, and after it disappeared, he needed to take away the device and leave the scene.
Li Tieyun has checked the road surveillance on this road and found no suspicious vehicles. If the murderer wants to avoid surveillance, the alley not far away can be used, but after passing through it, there are shops on both sides, and it is difficult to escape being captured by the surveillance. Unless... the murderer disappeared directly in the alley. Thinking of this, Han Yun opened his eyes and sat up.
In order to avoid being hit by a car, she had been watching Han Yun from a distance. When she saw Han Yun sitting up, she hurried over and said, "How is it? Did you find anything suspicious?"
Han Yun did not answer. He stood up, dusted himself off, and ran towards the alley not far away. There were buildings on both sides of the alley. When he reached the middle, Han Yun found a sewer entrance. If the murderer did not go through the alley directly, he could only use other methods to make himself disappear. The murderer could climb to the first floor of the residential building.
However, the police should have visited all the residential buildings in this area. Another method is to escape underground. Han Yun squatted down and tried to take away the manhole cover. He tried hard but the manhole cover did not move at all. Yu Miaomiao, who came later, squatted beside him and pushed hard together, and finally pushed the manhole cover open a gap.
"It looks like another strong murderer." Han Yun said thoughtfully, and then kicked the manhole cover open. A foul smell came to his face, and Yu Miaomiao covered her mouth and nose with her hands. Han Yun took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight and shone it inside. There was a ladder under the manhole cover, and you could go down directly. You couldn't see the depth of the water. After Han Yun took a look, he stood up and took off his coat, trying to go down to check. At this time, Yu Miaomiao stopped him and said, "You don't want to go down, do you? Let's find professionals to go down and check."
"If the murderer can escape from here, it proves that the water below is not deep. If the murderer can, so can I." Han Yun said as he squatted down and put one foot down.
"But there's no need to demonstrate in person. If something happens to you, how can I explain to Team Leader Li and the others?" Yu Miaomiao saw that Han Yun had already stepped down and became anxious: "I'll ask Team Leader Li to send someone over. Then you can go down with the professionals wearing waterproof clothing and a gas mask. The smell in there will definitely make people faint."
"The murderer didn't have any professionals with him." Han Yun also put his other foot down and stood on the iron ladder, then walked down step by step. The further down he went, the stronger the smell became, stimulating his olfactory nerves. When his feet touched the water below, Han Yun had already retched several times. First it was his shoes, then his calves. When Han Yun reached the bottom, he found that the water was only up to his waist, but it was very difficult to walk, and even moving was very difficult. The murderer was walking here with a holographic projection device.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Yu Miaomiao shouted from above, worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Han Yun reported that he was safe and tried to walk a few more steps. The reason why it was difficult to walk was that the ground below was not all water, so it was very muddy, and the pungent stench not only stimulated his sense of smell, but also his eyes. It seemed that the murderer came prepared, and should have prepared a gas mask in advance, otherwise he would not be able to walk for long and would probably be fainted by the fumes.
