The reinforcements finally arrived. It took four policemen gritting their teeth with effort before they were able to carry the heavy corpse to the police vehicle. The body was not put into a body bag, but only wrapped in a layer of cloth, because it was impossible to find such a large body bag.
Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue surveyed the area surrounding the factory district and looked at the surveillance footage, but they couldn’t find any evidence of the murderers sneaking in. Lin Dongxue felt incredulous. That giant-like murderer had walked in but no one noticed him?
"They must have come in at night. The person in charge said that the victim had something happen at home in the morning and only came to work in the afternoon, so they lay in ambush inside the warehouse in advance." Chen Shi speculated.
"How cautious, they only took action when the victim was alone."
"According to the way they have been committing crimes, I think other victims have already appeared, but the bodies haven’t been found yet." Chen Shi frowned, "Hired killers. There was no clue about the person behind the scenes, how worrisome!"
"Can you ask your friends to help find out what channels they had used to hire these killers?"
"I was just thinking of that." Chen Shi took out his cell phone and texted Sun Zhen.
After returning to the bureau, Peng Sijue immediately performed an autopsy, and found that the murderer had a history of drug use. His stomach contents consisted of ordinary foods, and the last time he ate was last night, which was consistent with Chen Shi’s speculation. The murderers had laid in ambush in the warehouse beforehand.
The DNA of four people were found on the murder weapon, including that of the instructor and Crazy Lady, but not the warehouse manager. From this, it seemed that their work had already been completed!
The rescued victim was out of danger and was being hospitalized for observation. The entire stomach had been excised. Actually, the effect wasn’t too significant. Unfortunately, his capacity for food would probably decrease after he recovered.
At 9:00 in the evening, Chen Shi was still in the bureau. He sat in the conference room and looked up at the ceiling, thinking about various leads. Everyone else had already gotten off work. There were all kinds of materials messily scattered over the table, because he had to come here early tomorrow morning to continue the investigation.
Lin Dongxue came in from outside, placed a bowl of instant noodles in front of Chen Shi, and asked, "Captain, would you like to have something to eat?"
"Any progress?" Chen Shi asked.
"Captain Peng is still working on it."
"I'm waiting." Chen Shi picked up some strands of noodles. "If I said that I had no hope left, would you blame me? This case has no leads left. The killers have handed the internal organs to the person behind the scenes. The person behind the scenes would pay the balance, and hide somewhere to secretly carry out the ritual. We will never know all of this, and new clues will no longer appear."
"We can continue to track down the murderer."
"We can track down the murderer. The person was indeed killed by them, but they won’t confess who the person behind the scenes is to us. Just like how Zhou Xiao didn't say a word during the interrogation. We don't know who Zhou Xiao had worked for other than Lie Guoxiao. Even when the little evil is eradicated, the big evils are safe."
"Hurry up and eat the noodles. They’re clumping together."
Chen Shi ate large mouthfuls of the noodles. It could be seen that his mood was quite low because he was at his wits’ end with this case.
Lin Dongxue counseled him. "You don't have to be so depressed. Today, everyone was very excited. The murderer was shot dead and the victim was rescued. From everyone's point of view, we have achieved a partial victory."
"Partial victory." Chen Shi smiled bitterly.
At this time, the mobile phone on the table rang. The call was from kk. kk was very excited. "Brother Chen, the old Taoist master has promised to help. Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. Is the weapon ready?"
"What is the specific process?"
"We’ll discuss it face-to-face."
"I'm tired today, how about tomorrow..."
"It doesn't matter. We’re already outside, but the guards won't let us in!"
Chen Shi hung up the phone and went out to welcome them. The three people had been stopped at the door. With their disreputable appearances, it was no wonder that the police officer on duty had refused to let them come in.
Chen Shi brought them in. The old man was very happy. He looked left and right, "So the yamen
