Chapter 26: The Appearance of Bones
"Based on the glow pattern, my initial guess is that the bloodstains were initially near the corner of the coffee table, and then were wiped away by the mop. You can see the marks left by the mop, and you can also see the glow on the coffee table. Strangely, there is no reaction on the glass. In addition, I need to test the mop to verify my guess."
Where is your usual mop?
Old Li went outside and saw a mop next to a well. "Is this the one?"
"Yeah!" Liu Jianshe replied, slightly drunk. "What's wrong?"
The technical investigators immediately conducted a bloodstain test on the mop.
The results came out very quickly.
"The floor must have been mopped with this mop."
"Hmm!" Cao Dahua nodded slightly, gave Wu Song and Liu Shutong a look, and led the two to Liu Jianshe. "When exactly did your wife disappear?"
"How could I possibly remember that!" Liu Jianshe rubbed his eyes and said, "It's been more than a month. One night I got drunk and didn't wake up until after 11 a.m. the next day. When I woke up, I found that she wasn't at home."
"Then why didn't you go look for her?" Liu Shutong asked.
"She can go wherever she wants. She's a barren hen. I've been feeding her for nothing every day. I should have known better than to spend so much money to marry her. Besides, she mentioned the day before that she was going back to her parents' house or something. She's been going back often before, and she always comes back on her own, so I never took it seriously. But hey, this time she didn't go back to her parents' house. I wonder where she's gone off to."
"Where did you die?" Cao Dahua asked.
"How would I know? Maybe she ran off with some random guy." At this point, Liu Jianshe's face instantly turned serious. "That won't do. I have to go to her parents' house. Her daughter ran away, and she has to return every penny of the dowry. Otherwise, her family will just marry another daughter off to me. I can't do this losing business."
After uttering a few curses, Liu Jianshe immediately turned to leave!
"Hey!" Wu Song stretched out his arm to stop Liu Jianshe. "You can't leave now. Come with us for questioning."
"Why should I? Who the hell do you think you are, daring to tell me what to do?" Liu Jianshe stretched out his arm to push Wu Song away.
He pushed him, but Wu Song didn't budge.
Wu Song pushed again with both hands, but Liu Jianshe still didn't understand. Instead, Liu Jianshe took several steps back and almost fell on his butt.
"Alright! You've got a taste of your own medicine!"
Liu Jianshe's face showed slight anger. He immediately clenched his fist and punched it toward Wu Song's chest.
"Oh!"
Wu Song's lips curled slightly. He raised his hand, firmly grasped the fist, and then began to increase his strength.
In less than a second, Liu Jianshe screamed in pain as Wu Song gripped his hand tightly. He tried to pry Wu Song's hand away with his other hand, crying, "Ah! It hurts! Be gentle, be gentle, big brother, be gentle!"
"Are you sober now?"
"She's awake, she's awake."
"If I hadn't stopped you, I could have thrown you in jail for assaulting a police officer!" Wu Song released Liu Jianshe's hand. "Answer the questions properly!"
"Okay, okay, government, I'll definitely cooperate!"
"Have you been inside before?" Upon hearing this form of address, Cao Dahua immediately asked.
"No, I was in a labor camp for petty theft, but I've turned over a new leaf now!"
"Why haven't you gone to see your wife for over a month?"
"She always came back on her own before. If I went to find her this time, wouldn't I lose face? So I thought I'd see when this bitch came back on her own. If she hasn't come back in a month and a half or three months, then I'll go to her house to find her."
Do you know whether she's alive or dead?
"What do you mean?" Liu Jianshe's eyes widened. "She didn't die, so you came to our door? Damn it, we've lost out big time. I have to get the bride price back. She didn't die in my house. I can't just let this go."
"How do you know he didn't die at your house?" Cao Dahua asked in a deep voice.
"Isn't that obvious? If someone died in my house, wouldn't I know?"
"A large amount of blood was detected near your coffee table. How do you explain that?"
"How am I supposed to explain this?" Liu Jianshe frowned. "Oh, right, I have something to report to the government. It must have been the day she disappeared, I don't remember exactly, but when I woke up I found that the glass on my coffee table was broken, and I even paid to have a new piece of glass cut."
"Is there a telephone in the village?" Cao Dahua asked Officer Li.
"The village team headquarters has it."
"Take me to make a phone call. Wu Song, Liu Shutong, you keep an eye on him here!"
"Don't worry, Master, there won't be any problems!"
"Um!"
……
About an hour later, after Cao Dahua made a phone call back, another hour had passed.
Because the case might be a murder, everyone from the Major Crimes Unit except for Ma Dazhi, who stayed behind, came over.
The branch's police dog unit was also dispatched.
Three police officers, with six police dogs.
"Six of them have arrived?" Cao Dahua greeted them with a smile.
"Of course, as soon as Captain Cao gave the order, we quickly brought half of the police dogs over."
"Haha, I'll treat you to meat another day!" Cao Dahua patted the heads of the four police dogs, and then had Wu Song and Liu Shutong let the police dogs smell the clothes of Li Ailian, the missing person who had been found in advance, who was also Liu Jianshe's wife.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Three police officers, accompanied by police dogs, first searched the vicinity of Liu Jianshe's house.
Then it gradually expanded to the entire village.
Then there are the mountains near the village.
They searched every inch of the land meticulously.
suddenly!
The barking of dogs echoed up the mountain, then caused all the dogs in the small village to bark.
"There's something going on here! Grab a shovel and come over!"
"Walk!"
The village had no shortage of shovels, and soon everyone had one and went up the mountain.
We came to an orchard.
Then we saw many grave mounds and tombstones deep in the orchard.
"Right here!" The officers from the police dog squad pointed to a spot three meters in front of a tombstone.
"Goodness, isn't this Liu Jianshe's family's ancestral grave?" the village chief muttered as he followed them.
"Is this Liu Jianshe's ancestral grave?" Xu Bin and Cao Dahua both looked at the village chief.
"Yes!" the village chief said, pointing to the tombstones. "This is his grandfather's tombstone; he passed away a year ago. That one is his second grandfather's, and that one over there is..."
"Alright, no need for introductions."
Xu Bin raised his hand to stop the village chief from speaking, then looked down at the soil for a while. "It doesn't look like the soil from a year ago. Come on, let's dig it up and take a look."
Xu Bin, along with Wu Song, Cao Dahua, and Jiang Yang, began digging in the ground.
After digging about twenty centimeters, Wu Song felt resistance from the ground as he took another shovelful. His expression immediately changed. "Something's wrong!"
"Slow down!"
Da immediately reduced his movements.
After digging to a depth of forty centimeters, a highly decomposed corpse, dressed in clothes and with exposed bones, appeared before everyone's eyes.
