Chapter 75: Bloodstained Pants
February 15, 23:42
The guard room was full of people.
Xiao Hu's fingers flew across the keyboard, and after a series of typing, he found the surveillance screen facing the observation room, adjusted it to 11:30, and then fast-forwarded it.
As the scene flashed, a nurse came out of the room and put a yellow plastic bag at the door. There were many people coming and going, and a car hit the bag, but as time passed, the bag did not move.
Just when the time jumped to 13:07, an old man in a green cleaning suit came over and kept collecting the garbage. When he passed by the door of the observation room, he seemed to ask the people around him, and he also packed up the yellow bag.
Xiao Hu quickly changed the surveillance cameras and kept switching them. He watched the cleaning staff throw the bag into the medical waste bin and push it directly into the backyard. Xu Dayuan slapped his head, and Lao Cao, who had messy hair beside him, also stomped his feet.
"Today is Monday. If we count the shifts before the New Year, the goods that were delivered at around one o'clock would have been taken away by now. Go and check!"
As he said this, he ran towards the backyard first. He and Xu Dayuan had known each other for a long time. If it wasn't an urgent matter, he wouldn't have been called here in the middle of the night. At this moment, he was covered in cold sweat.
When he ran to the backyard, he saw a kid rushing in with a bunch of keys. He opened the medical waste warehouse and saw huge trash cans. Lao Cao was breathing heavily and patting his thighs in relief.
"Fortunately, fortunately, they were not taken away!"
Looking at this pile of trash cans, Zhou Ning's temples throbbed. There were six trash cans in a row, and there were seven or eight rows of them, and there was a passage in the middle. They were not arranged How long would it take to find them?
Xu Dayuan snatched the key away and waved at Lao Cao.
"Tell them not to use this warehouse for now. I'll have someone search through the garbage. By the way, do you know who that cleaner is?"
"I know who it is, but I can't find him at night."
Xu Dayuan waved his hand.
"Tomorrow morning, ask him to come over and see if he can remember where the garbage was thrown away."
Lao Cao nodded.
"Okay, send someone to take me back."
"Don't come on, go back by yourself."
"If you don't send me off, what are you going to do?"
Xu Dayuan pointed at Zhou Ning and Da Zhao and said angrily:
"These two idiots only know how to work. Their last meal was lunch. If they don't go to eat, they won't be able to be used tomorrow. Just go home. Your wife won't let you eat this or that. I will have to blame you later."
Lao Cao gritted his teeth and wrapped his down jacket tightly around himself.
"I met the wrong person. How could I have made a friend like you? Okay, I'm leaving now."
With that, Lao Cao walked away quickly. Xiao Hu followed him and nodded to Xu Dayuan, saying:
"Xu Da, I'm going to go back first. I'm almost done with my phone, but I need to sort it out on my computer. I'll send it to you when it's done tomorrow morning. I won't be returning to your team."
Xu Dayuan held Xiao Hu's hand and shook it vigorously twice.
"Thank you for your hard work. I won't say any more polite words. I'll have someone take you there."
Xiao Hu waved his hand and left with a criminal policeman. Liu Changhai came over and looked at the garbage pile with a bitter face.
"Xu Da, are we going through the garbage now?"
"Don't worry, you can take someone to search. Didn't we see a garbage bag on the surveillance video? It would be best if we can find it tonight so we can send it for inspection."
Liu Changhai nodded helplessly.
“But there’s no equipment!”
Big Zhao came over with a grin and raised his hand without thinking it was a big deal.
"I have reconnaissance uniforms in my trunk. I have more than a dozen new ones, which are enough."
Liu Changhai raised his fist towards Da Zhao, who dodged it with a smile. They were all very tired, but they were just trying to have fun in the midst of hardship. He took the survey uniforms and distributed them to people. Xu Dayuan waved at Zhou Ning and Da Zhao.
"You two should retreat immediately, go home to eat and sleep. Your mission is completed. We will discuss everything tomorrow."
"Ah, isn't it a treat?"
Xu Dayuan slapped Da Zhao on the back.
"Stop talking nonsense. We're so busy today and it's late at night. I'll treat you guys to a buffet bill after the case is settled. Is that ok?"
Da Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and the two of them drove back home without further ado.
…
The next morning, Zhou Ning had just arrived downstairs at the Criminal Police Team when he heard shouting from behind. He stopped and saw that it was Da Zhao. His clothes were bulging with something, and he didn't know what he was holding. When he saw Zhou Ning looking at him, he patted his hands as if he was presenting a treasure.
"You haven't eaten yet, I brought some roujiamo and black rice porridge for breakfast, they're still warm."
Zhou Ning felt a little embarrassed.
"I'll treat you next time."
As he was speaking, a voice came from above his head.
"Did you take my share?"
"Master, you are here early."
The two went up the stairs and saw Liu Yongxin holding a teacup. Big Zhao scratched his head.
"I only brought two. Zhou Xiaozhou is like me. I don't like to eat breakfast when I get up late. After all, there's no one to cook for single people. Liu, why didn't you eat breakfast? Did you offend your wife?"
"You kid, you deserve a beating for your foul mouth. Of course I ate it. I heard you were busy until the early morning?"
Zhou Ning nodded and followed Liu Yongxin into the forensic room. Da Zhao did not treat himself as an outsider either, so he followed him in, sat down, and put down the food in his arms one by one.
"It's past twelve when I got home. I wonder if Liu Changhai and the others found their clothes?"
Liu Yongxin waved his hand, signaling the two to hurry up and eat.
"We didn't find it. The old cleaning man went there and brought a lot of people with him to look for it. But it's easier to find it during the day. The old man said that the ones near the door were previously stored there. After all, these medical wastes are not cleaned up every day. Let's eat first and wait for news."
The two of them began to eat voraciously. Zhou Ning turned on his computer while eating. He was a little surprised that there were no new emails in his mailbox. After all, Xu Dayuan had told the Municipal Bureau yesterday that the test of this case was urgent.
"Master, the test results haven't been sent yet."
Liu Yongxin was not surprised at all.
"The Municipal Bureau is short of staff. We have only been at work for two days and the backlog of work is huge. There is no point in being anxious. Let's just wait!"
Zhou Ning nodded. Although he was anxious, he also knew that he had no strength left. After finishing his meal, he cleared the table and cleaned the room. Then he poured himself a glass of water and sat down at his desk.
But my mind was thinking about the method I talked to Xu Dayuan about last night, and I didn’t know whether there was any progress in the investigation of Zhang Xin.
The waiting was the most tiring. When the clock jumped to 13:50, Xiao Liu opened the door happily and came in, smiling at the few people and holding up a yellow plastic bag.
"Found it , found Zhang Xin's lost clothes!"
Zhou Ning stood up suddenly, put on gloves quickly and moved closer.
As soon as the bag was opened, a strong stench could be smelled. The clothes that had been frozen solid were poured onto a plastic sheet. Zhou Ning carefully unfolded them. It was a set of rose pink coral fleece pajamas with black lace edges.
There were knife cuts on the sleeves and chest of the clothes, blood on the sleeves, blood stains on the cuts, and of course a lot of blood droplets splashed. This kind of material is not easy to get wet, but once it splashes into the fur, it is not easy to remove.
The clothes were placed on one side and the pants were spread out. Purple-black bloodstains could be seen between the crotch and buttocks. Zhou Ning quickly found the camera and took pictures one by one.
Later, I found a previous full-body photo of the deceased. Although the color of the shorts was darker, the bloodstains could still be seen.
After comparing them, Liu Yongxin excitedly slapped the table without Zhou Ning saying anything.
"The shape is almost the same. Although it is contaminated with urine, the back is still pure blood. Cut off a piece quickly and send it to the Eighth Hospital for blood comparison. Send the pants and clothes as a whole to the Municipal Bureau Inspection Center and mark them. All bloodstains must be compared ."
Liu Yong nodded vigorously.
"I'll go send them for inspection now. Xu Da said that you can take a look before deciding the order of inspection."
Zhou Ning had already cut off a piece of trouser fabric from his buttocks, put it into an evidence bag and threw it to Da Zhao.
"Let's split up, this way it will be faster."
Xiao Liu and Da Zhao left quickly without any further ado. At this moment, Zhou Ning's cell phone rang, with the words "Xiao Hu" flashing on it.
"The data on Forensic Doctor Zhou's phone has been recovered. I just called Director Xu and he said he would copy the data to you. He is interrogating a female assistant. Are you in the office now?"
"exist."
"Oh, okay, I'll be right up."
After hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door a moment later. Xiao Hu walked in, nodded and smiled at Zhou Ning, then went straight to his computer, plugged in the hard drive and exported the files inside.
There is no software on the mobile phone here, but several sorted documents on two mobile phones, one is the address book, one is the text message content, and one is the QQ conversation. Of course, the various drawings on the QQ number that is commonly used are not copied, and the names of the two people are annotated in the content.
Zhou Ning thanked him and Xiao Hu left with a smile. He quickly printed out the QQ conversation and text messages.
Zhou Ning quickly browsed through it and was stunned when he saw a part of the content.
Liu Yongxin came over.
"What's wrong?"
"This Assistant Qin is not a simple person! I wonder how the interrogation by Xu Da went?"
