"Officer, this is the dormitory where Liu Hongmei lives."

The leaders of Kaizhong Science and Technology Park Management Office took Gu Chu and others to the staff dormitory.

On the way from entering the park to the staff dormitory, the leader of the management office also briefly said something about Liu Hongmei.

The other party came to apply for the job more than three months ago. She is from Kaiyang City, but she lives in a remote countryside. Even if Kaiyang City is as developed as Kaiyang City, there are still towns that hinder the local economy. Liu Hongmei's hometown Zifeng Village is one of them. stand out.

"We didn't want to hire her at first. After all, she is not young, but the old lady kept begging us to give her a job. In addition, the cleaning team was short of manpower. The ability is indeed fair, so I left her behind, thinking about it now, back then..."

The leader didn't continue in the middle of the sentence, but everyone knew what he meant.

If he had known that Liu Hongmei would have an accident in the park, he shouldn't have hired her because of a moment of sympathy. Of course, it may also be because he thought Liu Hongmei was causing trouble for the park.

"How is Liu Hongmei's daily relationship?"

While walking upstairs, Pang Rongsheng asked a few questions about Liu Hongmei.

"It's okay, the old lady is quite quiet, she works hard and never causes trouble, anyway, I haven't heard her colleagues say anything bad about her, but after all, I have no contact with that old lady, officer, if you have any questions, you can ask Colleagues from the cleaning team have come to make a record, I have notified the following, and let them fully cooperate with your investigation."

The leader of this management office also wants to catch the murderer quickly. The rainy night butcher who used to be in trouble in Jin City suddenly reappeared in Kaiyang City, and the first victim also appeared in their Kaizhong Science and Technology Park. Under so much pressure, now countless complaint emails appear in his mailbox every day, all of which are some owners of the Science and Technology Park, and his hairline is in jeopardy.

"correct!"

Thinking of something, he stopped and patted his bare forehead.

"Liu Hongmei has a son who came to the dormitory to ask Liu Hongmei for money, but Liu Hongmei refused to give it. His son searched in her dormitory because it was already midnight, and many people were woken up by the quarrel between their mother and son. , It is said that Liu Hongmei's son turned her house upside down, and when other colleagues got up and dressed, only Liu Hongmei sat on the ground crying, what crimes, retribution, you say, Liu Hongmei's death Could it be related to her son?"

But as soon as the words came out, he felt something was wrong.

Liu Hongmei's son is only in his thirties this year. It is said that Liu Hongmei spoiled this son to such an extent that he was a child of old age. Then when the first corpse case happened in Jin City in 1994, that boy also Twelve, three or four years old, so old can kill a grown woman and dismember her body? Thinking about it is a bit outrageous.

Pang Rongsheng's expression became more serious because of his words.

"When did this happen?"

Pang Rongsheng cared more about Liu Hongmei's words than his son and mother's dispute over money.

"Sin, retribution!"

What kind of things did she do to make her feel that raising an unfilial son is her retribution?

"Let me think about it..."

The leader of the management office was stunned. After all, Pang Rongsheng's serious expression was a bit fierce and scary, which made people's hair stand on end.

"Seven, no, no, eight days ago, it was eight days ago. I can be sure that that day was the 20th anniversary of the establishment of our Kaizhong Science and Technology Park. Our park also held an event. Several park leaders and Leaders of several large companies in the Science and Technology Park participated in this event. At that time, Liu Hongmei’s health team was in charge of cleaning the event site. At that time, several of our colleagues were fortunate that her son did not come to make trouble during the day of the event, otherwise With so many journalists present, we would be ashamed."

He was very sure when Liu Hongmei's son came to make trouble.

"Our anniversary celebration this time was a success. The vice mayor of Kaiyang City came to celebrate the science and technology park..."

Gu Chu and the others didn't care to listen to what happened after that, what they cared about was the timeline.

Eight days ago, Liu Hongmei's son came to make trouble. After his son ransacked the house, Liu Hongmei talked about crimes, retribution and so on.

Five days ago, Liu Hongmei disappeared, and she couldn't be contacted. However, because employees of the park management office often leave without saying hello, many people thought that Liu Hongmei was in the same situation, and they didn't take it to heart for the time being.

Four days ago, a broken body was found in the park...

At the beginning, the staff of the cleaning team did not link the deceased with Liu Hongmei until the police released some important clues, such as the age range of the deceased.

Until this time, Liu Hongmei's colleagues felt panic. They got the spare key of Liu Hongmei's bedroom from the management office. After entering the room, they found that some of Liu Hongmei's personal belongings were still in the room. The side dishes that have been moldy and insects and a bowl of moldy rice that is half eaten.

If she resigned voluntarily, how could she not take her personal belongings away? Liu Hongmei definitely had an accident, and they didn't dare to hide it. They immediately reported it to the management office, so the management office called the police.

This is why, in the previous investigation, the police failed to quickly find Liu Hongmei by comparing the missing persons.

She lives alone in the dormitory of her work unit. Her parents, in-laws, and her husband have both passed away. Her only son only appears when she is begging for money. She has no friends, and the time she spends with her colleagues is very short and not close. Naturally, no one will be with her. The first time you lose contact, choose to call the police.

When the corpse dismemberment case first happened four days ago, Pang Rongsheng asked the management office on the side of the science and technology park to cooperate with the police and provide all the staff schedules at that time, so that they could find people to record their statements.

Because Liu Hongmei disappeared five days ago, she was deemed to have voluntarily resigned at that time, so in the subsequent police investigations, this crucial figure was also ignored.

As he spoke, he came to the door of Liu Hongmei's dormitory on the third floor.

"There was only someone who came in when it was initially determined whether Liu Hongmei was leaving or was missing. After calling the police, we sealed the room."

As he said that, he opened the door. For fear of destroying the evidence, he stood at the door and did not dare to enter.

Gu Chu and others were experienced and put on foot covers and gloves before entering this narrow room.

This is a double bedroom, but because of Liu Hongmei's late entry, there has been no other new roommate sharing a room with her. Therefore, in the few days that Liu Hongmei disappeared, the layout of the room was not damaged.

Colleagues in the forensic department began to take samples in the room, the food on the table, the footprints on the ground, the hair in the room, the dander... almost nothing fell.

People from different professions have different directions for inspection. Gu Chu is more concerned about whether there are signs of damage to the doors and windows, and whether there are signs of fighting in the room.

Liu Hongmei's things are really poor. In this bedroom, they only found the simplest daily necessities such as pots and pans, and there were very few changes of clothes.

Gu Chu noticed that the washbasin, enamel mouthwash cup, etc. all had signs of being smashed, and the ladder pole on the upper and lower bunks in the room also seemed to have been beaten by something, smashing several pits.

However, the smashed items are now in their normal positions, which may have been reset by Liu Hongmei after her son left, but it cannot be ruled out that the perpetrator may reset these items again, because Liu Hongmei’s son’s previous smashing and smashing cannot be ruled out. Too many "scars" were left on the items, but it made it difficult for them to identify whether there was a dispute or fight in the room before Liu Hongmei disappeared.

In this dormitory, Gu Chu only saw traces of survival, but did not see any traces of life.

This is just the place where Liu Hongmei eats and sleeps after get off work. She has no entertainment, and there is no photo of herself or her relatives in the room.

Gu Chu found a sack of vegetables on the edge of the shoe rack, and the roots were still stained with soil, which had already wilted. In addition, she found the same kind of soil under a pair of shoes on the shoe rack.

"Liu Hongmei went back to her hometown in the countryside before she disappeared."

Pang Rongsheng looked at the vegetables and shoes in Gu Chu's hands and said.

It rained for days in Kaiyang last week, and the soil on Liu Hongmei's shoes was most likely from the ground at that time.

He has just received Liu Hongmei's personal information from his subordinate. The other party only has a self-built bungalow in his hometown. The other party's account book shows that she has given birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter Wang Ting was born in 73, and the second son Wang Fu was born in 1981, but strangely, Liu Hongmei's daughter Wang Ting has never used an ID card since the end of 1993.

This happened to be the first dead person in Jin City.

Although some of the other's stumps only appeared at the entrance of the Red Army Supermarket in Xiashagang, Tianjin City in August 1994, the corpse found at that time showed signs of being frozen and refrigerated for a long time.

In this way, Wang Ting, Liu Hongmei's eldest daughter, was most likely killed at the end of 1993.

But what is even more strange is that her daughter has been missing for more than 20 years, but Liu Hongmei has never chosen to call the police. Until now, Wang Ting has not appeared on the missing persons file in Kaiyang City.

At this time, the group members also received the news shared by Pang Rongsheng group. Some people wondered that Liu Hongmei's daughter was missing. Isn't she in a hurry?

"What's so strange about that."

Jiang Chen, one of the members of Kaiyang City's temporary elite group for the rainy night butcher case, also saw the information shared in the group.

"Wang Ting, this family values ​​sons over daughters. The word Ting is considered by the older generation to be particular. What does it mean for female Jiating? This is a homonym. Stop having girls. Look, this Wang Ting is Born in 1973, when the one-child policy was first implemented, Kaiyang City was one of the pilot projects at that time, and the situation was strictly enforced. However, in order to appease the emotions of some people and out of consideration for rural productivity, at that time, The policy stipulates that if the first child has a physical disability, a second child can be born, and if the first child in rural areas is a girl, the second child can be born after seven years. You see, as soon as the policy requirements are met, the son will be born gone."

From Jiang Chen's point of view, Liu Hongmei did not run away because she was patriarchal, so she ignored her missing daughter.

"Jiang Chen, you are in charge of leading people to record statements for Liu Hongmei's colleagues, especially those who witnessed this scene on the day Liu Hongmei's son Wang Fu made trouble. The records must be detailed. Chu Ruonan, you are in charge of leading people to find Liu Hongmei's son, He took him to the police station."

Pang Rongsheng gave a series of instructions, then looked at Gu Chu again.

"You, come with me to Zifeng Village, Liu Hongmei's hometown."

Before Liu Hongmei went missing, she went back to the village, and there was only information about her life and the life of her daughter who disappeared more than 20 years ago could be found there.

Although more than 20 years have passed, there are always some old people in the village who know what happened back then.

What is the relationship between Liu Hongmei and her daughter, and why did she not call the police when her daughter disappeared for more than 20 years... These doubts may be known from the villagers who have witnessed the past.

In addition to Gu Chu, Pang Rongsheng ordered a few more team members to go with him. Zifeng Village is not small, and it is not easy to record statements for some insiders back then.

As for Hua Ying, she was arranged to help Chu Ruonan, which is also to allow the two foreign players to better integrate into this temporary group. Because of the experience of touting Gu Chu together, Hua Ying told Chu Ruonan The goodwill has soared, and there is no objection to such an arrangement.

Zifeng Village is about two and a half hours' drive from the city center. After the meeting at noon, they rushed to Kaizhong Science and Technology Park, and then moved to Zifeng Village. By the time they arrived at the village, the sky had gradually darkened.

A police car came at night, and everyone in the village was frightened. When Pang Rongsheng and the others parked the car in an open place, when they got off the car, the village head who had been notified had already brought people to wait.

"I have called some people who are close to the Wang family, and they will be arranged in the office of our village committee. Comrades, you can ask whatever you want."

The village chief led the people to the village committee, and along the way, he also drove some villagers who came to see the lively with their rice bowls. Most of these people were old people, and there were a few naughty children behind these old people, curious. He looked at the outfits of Pang Rongsheng and others.

"Comrade leader, is Liu Hongmei really dead?"

Someone in the crowd yelled loudly.

Pang Rongsheng stopped, with a straight face, and his eyes shot sharply in the direction of the sound. The fact that the deceased was Liu Hongmei has not been officially announced yet.

"It's already spread on the Internet."

A young policeman behind him smiled wryly and said in Pang Rongsheng's ear.

Journalists these days have great powers and eyes. They can confirm the identity of the deceased. They have already written a large article about the life experience of the deceased, and even matched the photos.

"Nonsense!"

Pang Rongsheng was so angry that these ubiquitous reporters were the biggest stumbling block and Stick Stirring Feces in the process of solving the case. The reason why everyone in Jin City was in danger at that time had nothing to do with the newspapers and TV stations at that time.

The police only had a little clue, and they were jumping up and down, wishing the murderer could monitor the police's every move through them all the time?

"We have to speed up."

Pang Rongsheng said seriously to Gu Chu who was beside him, and then walked quickly towards the village committee with a straight face, not caring how many children were scared to cry by his fiercer face than Rakshasa.

When they walked into the village committee, there were already a dozen or so elderly people waiting inside. When they saw them coming in, they immediately stood up with panicked expressions.

Liu Hongmei is dead!

How could someone who was fine a while ago die?
