Punishment Whisk

Both of them agreed to go to Dongxia Village first.

When entering the village, there happened to be a tractor coming with billowing black smoke, and the sound was so loud that it could shake a layer of ash from other people's eaves.

A group of people inquired separately, and finally got a piece of information: the recent environmental reforms in the city have blown into the small mountain village, and the government has given a lot of subsidies, hoping that the villagers will cooperate to replace tractors with motorized tricycles to reduce emissions.Because of this, almost half of the villagers sold their tractors for recycling near the incident.

From the villagers, they got several places that the villagers often go to.Fang Zhongci walked out of the village slowly, and when he was still looking at the names of these shops, a piece of paper was suddenly stuffed in his hand.

On paper, it starts from Dongxia Village and radiates to all second-hand car trading markets within 5 kilometers of the town.Fang Zhongci was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Ye Qi with some surprise: "You have been doing this in the car just now?"

Seeing Ye Qi nodding, he asked again: "How are you sure we can't find it here?"

Ye Qi chuckled: "Aren't you too? Just to make a rule."

Fang Zhongci was taken aback for a moment, this was indeed his idea.When he came to Tongxia Village last time, he found a green banner hanging at the entrance of the village.When he reasoned that the means of transportation was a tractor, he had already imagined that the murderer would use such a policy to cleanse the key evidence and transfer it out.After all, the evidence that has been circulated and completely destroyed by several hands can no longer be called evidence.

The murderer must also consider that one day the police may investigate this layer, so in order to reduce the risk, he will not go to places frequented by ordinary villagers.So the fundamental purpose of his trip this time was indeed as Ye Qi said - to eliminate.

More than once, he felt that Ye Qi was like a roundworm in his stomach, able to penetrate his thoughts in advance.Many years ago, Fang Zhongci hoped to meet someone who could understand him.But then he slowly discovered that no one in this world would understand his thoughts except himself.Ye Qi... Could it be that person?

Fang Zhongci turned his head and buried the touch in his heart deeply: "Let's go."

The effect of the elimination method is outstanding. They eliminated three large and five small second-hand markets, saving at least three or four days of time.But the rest of the work is still unavoidably cumbersome, but under Ye Qi's limited conditions, the investigation is still carried out in an orderly manner.

They came to the last trading shop in this small area, stepped through the front door, and the smell of rampant diesel still greeted their nostrils.

Seeing several policemen in uniforms come in, the proprietress wiped the black oil on her apron and walked out quickly: "Officers, what's the matter?"

One of the criminal policemen stepped forward and told the proprietress in detail why they came and the means of transportation they needed to find.

"Ah?" The proprietress looked a little embarrassed, "The tractor has been dismantled several times recently, and it was still being dismantled just now."

Hearing this, Ye Qi took half a step forward: "Eldest sister, can you take us to have a look?"

The proprietress nodded, and led a group of people to the backyard: "The last half month's harvest is here, and there is one... oh, half in the front yard."

Looking at the scattered parts in the yard, Fang Zhongci couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Miss Boss, we may need to stay here for a while."

The proprietress raised her hand and said with a smile: "It's good if you can help, you can just look at it."

It was an afternoon that seemed to be a headache. The proprietress kindly sent some pairs of string gloves, and several people began to search for clues that didn't know if they existed.

Not long after it started, Ye Qi heard the knocking sound in the front yard not stopping, so he decided to get up and go check it out.

At this time, the proprietress was still dismantling her own things, without being affected in the slightest.Ye Qi glanced around and found abnormally worn tires.

He squatted down suddenly, and suddenly interrupted the proprietress: "Sister, are all the pieces you disassembled a car?"

Seeing the proprietress nodding, Ye Qi said again: "Can I have a look at you first before dismantling it?"

"Then what's wrong with it, let's see." After speaking, the proprietress took a few steps back, sat on the chair behind, and waited for Ye Qi to check.

Ye Qi inspected it carefully, and he soon discovered the abnormality.The car was significantly more worn than those wheels, but the tires had grime floating on the surface, as if they had been deliberately washed.

Ye Qi stood up in surprise, and walked straight to the backyard.He bent down and grabbed Fang Zhongci's wrist, dragging him up directly.

Fang Zhongci was taken aback. It had to be said that Ye Qi's strength seemed to be quite strong. The sudden drag made it too late for him to refuse, and he almost sprained his foot without noticing.

He was pulled to the front hall by Ye Qi and pushed to the pile of broken parts.Before he had time to lean over to inspect, he heard Ye Qi say, "I'm [-]% sure, this is the one we're looking for."

Fang Zhongci stepped forward and found a small amount of burn marks in the rear compartment.He turned his head and asked the proprietress: "When and who sold this car?"

The proprietress thought for a while, but she didn't think about it: "I'm really sorry, officer, I really don't remember it."

Ye Qi glanced around and saw a surveillance probe: "Can the probe over there work?"

The proprietress pointed to the hanging line next to the monitor, and said dejectedly: "I don't know that that wicked thing has been cut. This area is just such a monitor, and there are dead spots everywhere. It can be used now, but it will take one, two or three to fix it." It's a matter of God, I guess you don't have what you want."

Fang Zhongci had a toothache, and then shouted to the backyard: "Come out, and collect evidence immediately."

During careful inspection, they found a fish that had escaped the net in the corner of the trunk——a hair that had been charred to the point where only half a hair remained.

The proprietress sighed worriedly at the side, stepped forward after hesitation, and said to Fang Zhongci: "Comrade police officer, I don't know that this is evidence. I just wiped the things on it because I thought it was an eyesore."

The proprietress spread out the black rag in her hand, and there were some white fleshy plant fragments scattered on it.To be more precise, the white seems to have been swallowed by the black and yellow, and only a little of the original color can be seen in the middle, but it is a little conspicuous on the black background.

Fang Zhongci frowned: "It's the flower of death."

The proprietress was startled and almost dropped the entire rag on the ground.

Ye Xi caught it with quick eyes and hands, and observed it closely. Before he could see why, Fang Zhongci took the rag and handed it to the people around him to collect evidence.

Fang Zhongci explained to the proprietress: "Don't be afraid, this is crystal orchid, also known as the flower of death, the name is just scary, it is not poisonous."

Ye Qi suddenly realized that the name "Flower of Death" was familiar to him just now, but he didn't remember it.After Fang Zhongci reminded him, he was somewhat impressed.This kind of saprophytic plant called crystal orchid does not see light for life, and survives on rotting plants.It can even emit a little white light in the dark, and is endowed with a mysterious color by people, which is called the flower of death.

And it usually only grows in the deep mountains.Deep in the mountains... Ye Qi suddenly thought of something. He was about to tell Fang Zhongci what he thought, but he found a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that we need to go back to Dongxia Village again." Fang Zhongci said.

After finishing quickly, the group returned to Dongxia Village again.In Murakami, the couple who were brought back to the police station by Xiao Xiao last time took the initiative to take over the job of leading the way after learning about the situation.

From the mouth of the guide, everyone knew that the crystal orchid they were looking for was a flower seed that was regarded as an ominous thing in the village.When people in the village go up the mountain, they will deliberately avoid low-lying and dark corners to avoid encountering this kind of flower.

At that time, the team discovered that although the surrounding area of ​​the villa at the scene of the first crime was cold and humid, the terrain seemed too low to meet the conditions for the growth of crystal orchids, so the appearance of broken crystal orchid leaves seemed particularly illogical.Using weird legends to keep others away, Fang Zhongci couldn't think of any other explanation except to hide some unknown secrets.

Relying on years of experience in the mountains and forests, the guide led a group of people looking for places where crystal orchids might exist.

In the deep corner is the crystal orchid blooming alone, Fang Zhongci and his team broke the silence, they searched every inch of it.

"Fang Group! Discovered!"

The police officer opened a black bag, then took half a step back, pointed to the opened bag and said, "It's a bone!"

Fang Zhongci knocked on the criminal policeman's Tianling cover, grabbed his shoulder with one hand and dragged him up: "You are still a criminal policeman with this little promise?"

Bypassing the man, Fang Zhongci opened the bag completely with gloves on, and a small skull was fully displayed in front of everyone.

This is a clean skull with no flesh between the bones and some brush marks on the surface of the bones.There is no roughness in the brush mark, and it is as smooth as a paste.It should have been processed and placed here for "collection and play".

Faced with such vileness, Fang Zhongci smiled instead of anger, even knocking on the head of the criminal policeman next to him, knocking on the head of this bone.

"Collect evidence." Fang Zhongci said as he stepped back, but he didn't care and leaned half of his body against Ye Xi, who was always behind him.

Afraid that someone would fall, Ye Qi reached out to wrap his arms around him, then let go in a panic.But Fang Zhongci just said sorry heartlessly, and started to check around again.

Ye Qi lowered his head and smiled, and also searched around.

At this time, Jiang Ke called, and Fang Zhongci squatted on the ground to answer it.Jiang Ke's tone on the phone was flat, and Fang Zhongci knew that something had happened.

"There's something wrong with my glasses, go and fix it, I'm not in the bureau now, call me if you need anything."

After spending the phone call, Fang Zhongci smiled wryly: "Wearing glasses is troublesome."

He shook his head, but suddenly stood up and shouted: "Glasses!"

Ignoring the surprised eyes of the people around him, Fang Zhongci took a portrait of the suspect at home on his mobile phone and took it out.

He always thought that Wu Tong put on the real director Tian's glasses to pretend to be Tian Xing, but just now, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.

That was the first time they went to Dongxia Village to investigate the case, and Wu Tong's mentally ill son suddenly came out from behind the curtain.At that time, Wu Tong was taken aback and took two steps back, the glasses slipped off the bridge of his nose.

Fang Zhongci clearly remembered that there was a deep hole on the bridge of his nose, but he didn't care about it at the time.Now to tie it all together, if the pit on the side of his nose was replaced by a mole.Wu Tong's appearance was seven or eight percent similar to the portrait in front of him.

Is it? !
