Chapter 112 Find
Under the huge external pressure, the cooperation of all levels of departments is extremely strong. During the day, the portraits of the shopkeepers were surveyed and mapped. In the evening, a local police station in Guizhou Province contacted them, saying that they had found several elderly people who were suspected to be family members of the shopkeepers.
Song Zhaa, male, Miao nationality, 26 years ago, his family members reported to the police that he was missing. If he is still alive, he should be 46 years old this year.
Everything else was in line with their previous guesses, but they guessed the age wrong.
Villagers don't know Xiumanmei's exact age, but judging from her appearance, she was still young when Zhang Jianwei tricked her to come here, and she was estimated to be seventeen or eighteen years old. She didn't conceive a child in the first few years , Zhang Jianwei's attitude is not bad. Later, he gave birth to a son and ran away with others when he was six years old. It has been more than ten years here, and he is a woman in her twenties. Under inertial thinking, they always thought that The salesman and Xiu Manmei are about the same age, or a little bigger than each other.
According to the descriptions of the villagers, the shopkeeper is also a young man in his thirties.
It may be that some people are born to look old. In addition, the job of a salesman walks around the streets and is often exposed to wind, sun and rain, and they age much faster than their peers.
It's just that, for a pair of men and women who are one round apart, the probability of having an affair seems to be a little smaller, especially in that era, the mainstream concept was that men were big and women were small, and there were also women who were a few years older, but teens were really a little bit older. Exaggerated.
But this is not necessarily the case, after all, it is not easy to say about feelings.
Because the two places are relatively far away, the confession of the shopkeeper's family can only be made through a video connection.
Both the shopkeeper’s parents have passed away, but the other’s two older sisters are still alive. According to their description, the younger brother is a very filial child. Before he disappeared, he would remit money to his parents in his hometown every month. The previous remittances stopped suddenly, and the younger brother never contacted his parents or their two older sisters.
At first, they wondered if something was delayed, or they didn't make any money in those few months, and they were embarrassed to contact their family members.
There was no movement in the first month, no movement in the second month, and no news in the third month. At that time, they suspected that something might happen to their brother, so they chose to call the police in the third month when they could not contact him.
When the police contacted them during the day, they recognized the person in the portrait at first sight, and it was the younger brother Song Zha.
According to the people in the village, Xiu Manmei and Song Zha'e eloped and fled here 26 years ago, but if they really eloped, Xiu Manmei and Songzha would not contact their friends here can still understand, why didn't you contact the relatives in Song Zha's hometown?
Song Zha is just one of the peddlers who come here to sell goods, and he doesn't have a deep friendship with the locals. Even where his hometown is, the police can deduce it from his favorite local food. If it is really Elope, Song Zha can take Xiu Manmei and the child back to his hometown to live, even if he is afraid that his parents will not accept him and choose a woman who is much older than him and has a child, he can contact him after he settles down. Parents, send money to parents.
How could a man whose sisters said he was very filial, who would save money and send it to his parents even if he couldn't bear to eat or drink, could have been silent for the next twenty-six years.
Now Gu Chu and Lin Ze can basically be sure that they may have encountered an accident.
Combined with Zhang Chao's previous confession, they have reason to infer that their disappearance is related to Zhang Jianwei.
"After Xiu Manmei disappeared, Zhang Jianwei got a sum of money, so their disappearance is likely to be related to human trafficking."
Gu Chu and Lin Ze sorted out their thoughts together.
That Zhang Jianwei is really an animal. I'm afraid his missing son was also sold by him.
"I think the possibility of Xiu Manmei and Zhang Jianwei being sold is not high."
Gu Chu put forward his own idea. Zhang Jianwei has only one person, while Xiu Manmei and Song Zha'a have two people. Zhang Jianwei drinks alcohol all the year round, while Xiu Manmei and Song Zha'a work all the year round, and the other carries heavy loads all the year round in the countryside. , even if Zhang Jianwei is relatively burly, the two of them will not be able to beat Zhang Jianwei together.
Moreover, for an adult man like Song Zha, it may be difficult to find a buyer. According to Zhang Chao, the other party came back after going out for a few days, and he should have dealt with the "commodity" in his hand very quickly.
"Zhang Jianwei didn't bring any big or small bags with him when he left."
Lin Ze followed Gu Chu's train of thought and continued to analyze. When Zhang Jianwei said he was going out to find his wife and children, he brought a nylon bag, which was too big to hold an adult's body. Moreover, Zhang Jianwei's family didn't have a car at that time, so he borrowed a nylon bag. Without a car, he wanted to dispose of the body, so he could only choose to bury it nearby.
They have searched Zhang Jianwei's old house, dug the front and back yards, and checked the walls that seemed to be thick enough to fit the corpse, but they didn't find the corpse.
After investigation, they found that there was only one pond in the village, and this pond would be cleared to catch fish at the end of each year. If the corpse had been sunk in the pond, the fish would have been discovered long ago.
There is also the area behind the mountain. The main source of income for the village now is part of the cultured mushrooms, and part of the more expensive wild mushrooms. Every year, the villagers will go up the mountain to search for it. If it is really buried in the mountain, for more than 20 years Even if they were not found, Zhang Jianwei's ability to bury corpses is probably too strong.
Gu Chu kept flipping through the various transcripts of the past two days, and suddenly, her eyes stopped on a few lines of one of the transcripts.
"Zhang Jianwei hardly came back after he went to Tianjin City. He came back occasionally to repair the old graves of his parents, so he was a little filial."
Gu Chu suddenly started to rummage again, until he saw another line of words.
"Zhang Jianwei, that little bastard, doesn't do human affairs. When the news of his crime spread out, people outside felt that our village was not good in Feng Shui, and they were afraid that there would be a second Zhang Jianwei. Several marriages that were already negotiated in our village were all gone. If it wasn't for the village officials who stopped him at the time, I'm afraid some of the popular ones would go and dig up his family's ancestral grave."
She seemed to know where Zhang Jianwei would hide the body if he really killed someone!
Since 1985, some areas have begun to require cremation. In 1997, it was explicitly stipulated that cremation must be carried out. This is a matter of recent decades. Zhang Jianwei’s parents died early, and almost all of them were still buried.
People in their village are more superstitious about feng shui, otherwise Zhang Jianwei's excellent homestead would not have been vacant for so many years, and no one chose to buy and rebuild the house.
Because of this superstition, they also attach great importance to the tombs of their ancestors. The old cemetery in the village has always been preserved. Several times when developers wanted to acquire land, they were all driven away by the villagers.
They feel that they are living a good life now, and that is the blessing of their ancestors. If the grave is moved, it will be bad for Feng Shui, and no one is allowed to destroy the grave of their ancestors.
Zhang Jianwei's family was long gone, so when Gu Chu and the others wanted to dig up the graves of Zhang Jianwei's parents, although the villagers complained, no one really took their lives to stop them.
The tombs of Zhang Jianwei's parents were repaired in a grand style. It is said that it was only ordinary adobe before. Zhang Jianwei came back more than ten years ago and paid for it to be repaired again. It was sealed with cement, and it looked a lot stronger.
The grave was dug up, and two coffins appeared in everyone's sight. Seeing the appearance of the two coffins, they exclaimed one after another.
From the outside, the two coffins are very ordinary wooden coffins. The black paint on them has almost fallen off. The microbes and various ants in the ground have corroded the coffins and hollowed out the coffins. It was not the two coffins themselves that really caused everyone to exclaim, but the dense red threads tied to one of the coffins, and a pungent stench emanated from the coffin.
They all put on masks, but they still couldn't stop the disgusting smell.
A good coffin, why is there so much red thread wrapped around it? Everyone felt a little uncontrollable excitement in their hearts, and it seemed that they were really looking for the right direction.
When a group of people was cutting the red thread, another coffin without the red thread had been opened. As expected, it seemed reasonable, there were two corpses in this coffin.
When the coffin was opened, a bunch of worms spewed out of the coffin in fright.
Gu Chu and Lin Ze were both fearless and leaned down to observe the two corpses in the coffin.
"Judging from the wear marks of the molars and the decay of the corpses, the two corpses have been dead for at least 30 years, and the owner of the corpses is still an old man."
Obviously, the two corpses in this coffin were Zhang Jianwei's parents, but their burial time was three years apart, so they should have been buried in these two coffins separately.
What was the reason that caused one of the corpses to be dug out of the coffin and buried in another coffin. What was hidden in the coffin where he was lying?
Those red ropes were quickly cut, and the nails that held the coffin were lifted. Just when one of the police officers was about to lift the coffin, Gu Chu frowned.
"Wait! I'm coming!"
She felt an unpleasant aura, and she intuitively told her that ordinary people's exposure to these things might cause trouble. As for her...
Gu Chu is not sure now whether he is still a person or not.
She walked to the coffin. Although the person standing in this position didn't understand why Gu Chu had to lift the coffin by himself, he still obeyed her and took a few steps back because of his unconditional trust in his deputy.
It was obviously a thin wooden coffin that was riddled with holes, but Gu Chu seemed to be pushing a heavy load at the moment. There was an inexplicable suction in the coffin, which was tightly adsorbing the coffin lid.
With a snap, the coffin lid was lifted six or seven meters away, and fell to pieces on the raised stone.
This time, there were far more insects and ants running out of the coffin than in the previous coffin.
Centipedes, spiders, scorpions... The police around the coffin were so frightened that they backed away, jumping up from time to time to avoid these insects that were not known to be poisonous or not.
In the coffin, there were also two corpses, which were different from the serene corpse in the other coffin. The two corpses that had already decayed were twisted. One of the corpses had their hands up and maintained a gruesomely struggling posture.
It was as if... was nailed to death in a coffin alive!
