Chapter 343: Approaching the Truth (Silver Alliance

Chapter 343 Close to the truth (Additional update for the leader of the Silver Alliance, the Dragon, the Tiger, the Crouching Unicorn! The third update will be posted together!)

The back office staff responsible for the appraisal began to introduce the situation.

"The identification results of the shoe prints are quite strange."

strangeness?

"What's the meaning?"

Chen Yan is a specialist in the trace identification skill that has been rewarded by the system.

Therefore, I have a deep understanding of trace identification,

Shoe print identification is very important.

Some experienced identification experts are even able to identify the gender of the murderer through a shoe print.

Also age, height, weight.

This is not a wild guess, but is based on science.

Everyone's footprints are unique.

By comparing a series of data such as the depth, size, and proportion of the footprints, you can determine the height of the person's center of gravity, the strength of the soles of the feet, etc.

This infers the basic information of the owner of the footprints.

Regarding the identification of footprints, the Chinese Detective Corps has strict identification standards.

"First, the footprints are very light and the force is very small. They are not at all like the footprints left by adults stepping on the ground. It is a bit similar to... similar to polio patients. The patients tap their toes lightly on the ground..."

"Moreover, the depth and intensity of the front and back of the footprints are inconsistent."

"From the analysis of the measured footprints, the focus points at the front, middle and back of the footprints are different."

"The toes are strong, the soles of the feet are in the air, and the heels are weak."

While talking, the detective responsible for the identification began to draw the general shape of a foot on the panel.

"Preliminary judgment shows that the owner of the footprints has a foot disability."

On the picture, it is a cavus foot.

Different from normal foot shape.

The shape of the feet on the panel has a higher bulge in the middle, and the soles of the feet do not touch the ground at all.

The amount of heel landing is also very small, and the entire foot's center of gravity falls on the toes.

Chen Yan crossed his arms and frowned as he looked at the foot shape drawn by the detective.

Chen Yan himself had mastered trace identification skills, so he understood what the detective meant by strangeness.

"You mean...the footprints left by the other party are not supporting feet?"

The detective responsible for identifying footprints was named Wang Huan. He did not expect that Chen Yan actually had research on footprint identification.

"Team Leader Chen, that's what I mean."

Chen Yan nodded.

What Wang Huan actually meant was that there shouldn't be only one footprint on the scene.

Because this footprint is simply not enough to support a person's weight.

But why wasn't another footprint found at the scene?

Was it deliberately erased?

But if it was erased on purpose, why not erase the footprints as well?

Two possibilities.

The footprints were left intentionally by the murderer.

It is not impossible for a person to turn a crime scene into a ghost and murderous person and leave a footprint to provoke the police.

The other is that the other person only has one foot.

Moreover, this foot is not a healthy foot, and his movements are likely to rely on crutches or other assistive tools.

In this way, with the crutch as the main tool, the other footprint will naturally be shallower.

Ten minutes later, Chen Yan and Wang Min left the trace identification room.

Because Lin Gang, who was responsible for investigating the information of six people, brought back the news.

meeting room.

Lin Gang began to introduce the investigation situation.

"The basic conditions of the six people have been investigated clearly."

On the projection, there was information about six people investigated by Lin Gang.

"We visited the home addresses of these six people and investigated their interpersonal relationships."

"Cleaned through all the bank accounts of six people."

"And all their recent call records domestically and in Big Bear Country."

"First, none of the six people have any enemies in the country."

"They all went to Big Bear Country to work and farm in the past three years through the introduction of workers in the same village."

"Because of the exchange rate, working there can make more money than working in China, so many people in the black market go to Big Bear Country to work."

"The situation abroad is basically clear."

"Of the six, three worked on the farm and three worked in the winery, but it wasn't the same winery."

"There are no records of domestic and foreign phone calls passing each other, and their family members also reported that they did not hear these six people mention each other's names to each other."

"So, it is initially judged that these six people should not know each other."

"However, we found the same phone number in the call records of the other party in Big Bear Country, and had call records with these six people."

"Same phone number?"

"Since when?"

"Three months ago, the earliest was three months ago, and the latest was half a month ago."

"What about the domestic phone calls? Are there any similar call records?"

The phone numbers of China and Big Bear can only be dialed within their respective territories.

If you do not have the corresponding permissions, you cannot make calls abroad.

The cost of opening it is simply not something that a few working people can afford.

Therefore, people who go to Big Bear Country to work will get another phone number there.

When traveling abroad, use the phone number of Big Bear Country.

When returning to China, use the Chinese phone number.

I usually use WeChat to communicate with my family.

Lin Gang shook his head: "Of these people, the first one left the country was three years ago, and the last one left the country was one year ago."

"The domestic phone number has never been activated."

"Where are the bank cards?" Chen Yan asked again: "Do their bank cards have any abnormal transfer records?"

"have!"

Lin Gang nodded: "There is nothing unusual about the bank accounts of these six people in China."

"However, their bank account in Big Bear Country had an abnormal transfer record 18 days ago."

"Everyone has a large amount of income in their account."

"But between 15 days and five days ago, that is, between April 13 and 28, the money was transferred out of the account one after another."

Transferring out one after another?

Wang Min frowned: "Have you found the source of the account transfer?"

"Found it!"

Lin Gang continued to report: "The account into which the money was transferred is a private account called Petrov."

"People from the Big Bear Country are investigating the account owner's information, and there is no feedback yet."

"The account that was transferred out was an account opened by a person named Gorsky."

check!

Wang Min stood up with sharp eyes.

The clues Lin Gang brought back were very important.

The murderer was very cunning and cautious.

There was only a footprint left at the crime scene and no other information.

However, the other party must be too confident in himself and does not believe that the police can find out where these bodies belong.

Indeed, without the tattoo discovered by Chen Yan, Wang Min would certainly not have been able to locate the victim's information.

However, there is no if in handling the case.

Do they think that by targeting people going abroad, they won't be able to track them down?

"Notify the intelligence network over there in the Big Bear Country to find Petrov and Gorsky in the shortest possible time."

"Find out the whole story!"

Chen Yan is also very encouraging,

The investigation of this case may not need to be too complicated.

If the team is in Big Bear Country, they can get key clues from Petrov and Gorsky.

Then it is very likely that the entire case will be investigated extremely quickly.

…

The people from Big Bear Country did not disappoint Chen Yan and Wang Min.

On the afternoon of May 3, the news came back.

Information about Petrov and Gorsky was placed in front of Chen Yan and Wang Min.

However, the murderer's actions were indeed very thorough and careful.

The owner of the two accounts, among whom Petrov is just a local gangster.

The other party gave him a thousand Big Bear coins, and the other party agreed to lend his account to the other party.

Gorsky's account was a short account opened through stolen identity documents.

On the evening of April 28, all the money in this account had been withdrawn and closed.

Clues, interrupted again.

Although important clues from the Big Bear Country have been interrupted, Chen Yan and others were not discouraged.

Sorting through clues is like looking for threads in a tangled mess.

A thread was pinched, although it was broken during the combing process.

But this piece of hemp rope that has been sorted out has brought out more threads.

Although the accounts opened under the names of Gorsky and Petrov did not directly point to the murderer, they at least brought information about thirty other people to Chen Yan and Wang Min.

Through transaction records, Lin Gang's colleagues in Big Bear Country found another account that had done the same thing.

And locked the basic information of these people.

At this point, all victim information has finally been confirmed.

Like the six people who have been discovered, most of them are people who have gone to Big Bear Country to work in recent years.

There are also two people who work for the Big Bear Country gang, one of whom is the owner of the broken arm where Chen Yan discovered the tattoo.

At the same time, the black market detectives also fed back the information sorted out by captain Wang Qiang.

In the conference room, Wang Qiang was making a report.

"Within the black market, we exported a total of 9,896 adults born on June 5 from the population information system."

"Comparing the number of people going abroad, the number has dropped sharply."

"There are 68 people in total."

"We have sorted out the information of these 68 people one by one..."

Although Wang Qiang's investigation results were a step late, they confirmed Lin Gang's investigation results.

The 36 people who were killed were all included in the information of these 68 people.

Comparing these two sets of information once again gave Chen Yan and Wang Min a deeper understanding of the identity of the murderer behind the scenes.

Judging from the results of Wang Qiang's investigation, among the 68 people born on June 5, there is basically no duplicate work location in Big Bear Country.

The 36 people who have been killed all live in different places in the black market, and their working places abroad are also very different.

Chen Yan said they were able to lock down the information of these people so quickly because they had a household information system and an entry-exit management system.

However, you must know that this information is confidential.

It is not accessible to ordinary people.

And every query will leave traces in the system.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to obtain this information by bribing relevant staff.

Because there is a request and report system for inquiries like this kind of information.

Therefore, since it is difficult for the other party to obtain information through these two systems, the power of the murderer behind it is not ordinary.

At least, there should be a lot of energy in the Big Bear Country.

In this case, the scope of suspectable objects is not large.

"Wang Qiang, all black marketeers in Big Bear Country are ranked according to their assets."

Wang Qiang nodded.

The information in the entry-exit personnel information database is far richer than we imagined.

After a simple sorting, the 1,697 people currently in Big Bear Country appeared in front of everyone according to their assets.

Fur business?

Chen Yan looked at the list on the projection with some surprise.

Six of the top ten people in terms of assets are engaged in the fur business.

"Is the fur business profitable in the Big Bear Country?"

Wang Qiang nodded.

“Big Bear Country is a vast country with few people and lots of wild animals.”

"The export volume of animal fur products is very large, and it is our country's main fur importer."

"There are many people engaged in the fur business on the black market, and there are also many rich people."

"However, this business is also very competitive. In the Big Bear Country, you need to obtain a lot of approval documents and certificates to engage in the fur import and export business."

Chen Yan nodded, colleagues are enemies.

With one less competitor, you can earn more.

Of course, it’s not just the industry they work in that attracts Chen Yan’s attention.

There is also a person's information.

Wang Baoli.

Among 1,697 people, assets ranked first.

And his date of birth is June 5th.

Chen Yan looked at Wang Qiang: "Captain Wang, I remember what you said last time about the curse of the black mud blood pool."

"The birth date of the cursed person is to be engraved on the token, and then suppressed in a pool of black mud and blood, right?"

Wang Qiang sat back in his seat: "The spiritual tablets in the blood pool have been carefully tested by the appraisal team."

"The murderer probably first wrote the name of the cursed person on the spiritual tablet with cinnabar, and then soaked it in cinnabar."

"The interval is very short, so there is no way to restore the specific birth date and horoscope on the spirit tablet."

Chen Yan shook his head.

Chen Yan and Wang Min had been waiting for news from the Trace Firm Group regarding the birth date engraved on the spirit tablet.

However, now it seems that it is no longer needed.

In the past two days, while Lin Gang and others were collecting clues, Chen Yan was not idle.

Chen Yan asked Wang Qiang to find someone to collect many folklore spread on the black market.

We even found a famous local god and two gods to learn more about these folklore.

The so-called Great God and Second God are the titles of religious clergy practitioners unique to northern shamanism.

They do not have an official status, but they are highly recognized among the people.

In Liancheng, Chen Yan had heard of it before, but had never been exposed to it.

This time, I got to know it better.

"Wang Baoli, 54 years old, was born on June 5."

"Based on the information we have so far, combined with the folklore on the black market, we can basically determine the ins and outs of the case."

It turns out that the black mud and blood pool circulating on the black market is a very ancient shamanistic curse.

Shamanism is widely distributed around the world, with different variations in every place.

The core teachings can be understood as a kind of animal totem worship.

The Baojiaxian popular among the black market folk is actually one of them.

In this ancient religion, it is believed that all people born on the same day of the same month are actually descended from the same incarnation.

They are independent of each other, but they are mysteriously connected.

The black mud blood pool is an abyss of hell created by mixing the blood of a certain number of people born on the same month and day with black mud.

Then, by carving a person's birthday and birth date on the spirit tablet and placing it in the blood pool, you can cancel the blessing of the Baojiaxian and curse that person's future.

In the folklore of the black market, anyone who has asked Baojiaxian for protection will suffer from bad luck or even die of terminal illness once they no longer worship Baojiaxian or lose the protection of Baojiaxian.

"It is very possible that the entire case was actually organized and committed by Wang Baoli's enemies in order to believe in the legend."

To be honest, this is Chen Yan's first time coming into contact with this kind of case.

Killing for superstition.

However, behind the superstition are amazing benefits.

Once Wang Baoli dies, the fur resources he controls in the Big Bear Country will naturally fall into the hands of others.

"So, I suggest that the next work should be centered on Wang Baoli."

"If Wang Baoli dies, whoever is the biggest beneficiary may be the one behind it."

After speaking, Chen Yan looked at Wang Min.

This analysis was based on the information Wang Qiang just brought back.

Therefore, Chen Yan did not discuss it with Wang Min beforehand.

Chen Yan wanted to seek Wang Min's opinion.

Wang Min nodded.

Although Chen Yan's reasoning is different from his previous reasoning in handling cases.

After all, killing someone for the sake of superstition is a bit far-fetched.

However, far-fetched does not mean that it is not possible.

These days, how many people have lost their lives because they believed in superstition rather than science in order to cure their illnesses.

Besides, this Wang Baoli, as the richest person in the black market in Big Bear Country, has a birthday on June 5th.

How could there be such a coincidence?

"I agree with Team Leader Chen's suggestion. Lin Gang will be responsible for this clue."

When it comes to information about Big Bear Country, the Black Market Detective Team can obviously only cooperate with the investigation in China.

Information from the Big Bear Country still depends on the intelligence network there.

The day after Lin Gang reopened the investigation.

Tian Xuwen's investigation finally came to fruition.

In the conference room, Tian Xuwen began to report.

"We have found out the passage through which the six people smuggled themselves into the country."

In the black market, the border between China and Big Bear is too long.

From the easternmost point to the westernmost point, there is a distance of thousands of kilometers.

The two countries are separated by a river.

Even at its widest point it is only over 2,000 meters.

In many places the width is even less than two hundred meters.

Although it is impossible for people to cross the river by swimming due to the strong current, a small boat can cross the river in less than five minutes by sailing down the river.

"Although the border between the two countries is relatively long, in order to prevent border residents from crossing the border, both countries have deployed many police posts on both sides of the river."

"Basically there is one every two or three kilometers."

"Moreover, infrared detectors have been deployed at border police posts in recent years to conduct 24-hour uninterrupted detection within the warning range."

"So, the practice of sneaking across the river in small boats has almost been eliminated."

"So, we focused on checking foreign-related companies with transportation qualifications."

Turning on the projector, Tian Xuwen opened a video: "This is a dock of Aifubao Company in the black market."

"While we were investigating them, we discovered a problem."

In the video, there are three men, two of whom are wearing security uniforms and one of whom is wearing a brown jacket.

"These two men in security uniforms are the security guards at the pier."

"But the guy in the middle, in the brown jacket, is named Yang Jun."

"Exactly one of the six victims."

"Through investigation, we discovered that the Aifubao transportation company had specially built a small cold storage inside the transport ship."

"It's actually a secret room where smugglers are hidden."

"For transportation companies like Aifubao that travel between Big Bear Country and China, all transported goods must go through border inspection."

"Because the cargo ship is huge, it is impossible to move all the cargo for inspection. Infrared scanners are usually used to check whether there are stowaways."

"But they evaded inspection by adjusting the temperature of the cold storage to cover up the heat radiation of the people inside."

Smuggled into the cold storage and deceived the infrared detector.

This group of people has many tricks.

"Has the person in charge of Aifubao Transportation Company brought it back?"

"Not yet. We were afraid of alerting others, so we didn't take action directly after getting the evidence."

The clues Tian Xuwen took over were actually the most difficult to verify.

The clues to discovering Aifubao Company actually involve a certain amount of coincidence.

Tian Xuwen has read all the information on the six people who were confirmed to have been murdered in Mao'er Mountain.

When checking the terminal surveillance video of Aifubao Transportation Company, the screen stopped exactly at the moment when Yang Jun's face was photographed.

Tian Xuwen recognized it immediately.

Therefore, there was a follow-up investigation.

"Secretly arrest the person in charge of Aifubao Company and organize an interrogation immediately."

Wang Min gave the order decisively.

Now, all the information of the victims has been confirmed. Among them, Yang Jun was smuggled back to the country through Aifubao Transportation Company.

Then it is very likely that other people came in through this method.

Therefore, by breaking through the gap of the person in charge of Aifubao Transportation Company, we can follow the clues and find the person who entrusted him with smuggling.

As long as that person is found, the murderer is not far away.

"yes!"

After receiving the order, Tian Xuwen acted very quickly.

Half an hour later, Chen Yan and Wang Min met Zhang Dequan, the person in charge of Aifubao Transportation Company, in the interrogation room.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Dequan showed absolute surprise at Tian Xuwen's question.

"In all these years, when have I, Zhang Dequan, ever done anything illegal?"

"Comrade police, I founded Aifubao Transportation Company from scratch."

"It owns more than a dozen 10,000-ton transport ships."

“The profit from one shipment is at least hundreds of thousands or even millions.”

"Do I deserve to be a smuggler?"

"How much money can a person make by smuggling him?"

Chen Yan and Wang Min looked at each other.

What Zhang Dequan said...is not unreasonable.

"Then can you explain what's going on with the cold storage room in the cabin of your company's ship?"

"this……"

Zhang Dequan was speechless for a moment.

Who wants to build a cold room in their transport ship?

Zhang Dequan, who has worked in transportation all his life, certainly knows what this thing is for.

"I will definitely cooperate with you in investigating this matter."

"But you have to believe me. Although these ships are mine, each ship is managed by a captain."

"There's no way I'm going to be able to ship it myself."

after an hour.

Chen Yajun, the captain in charge of the Aifubao 08 transport ship, was taken to the black market detective team.

"Yes... I transformed it privately..."

With Tian Xuwen's interrogation methods, Chen Yajun didn't last ten minutes before he confessed everything.

"For 10,000 yuan to smuggle a person, I can transport three or five people on each shipment..."

It turns out that Chen Yajun's smuggling activities were mainly aimed at people from the Big Bear country.

China's economic conditions have always been better than those of the Big Bear Country.

High spending power.

Many young ladies from Big Bear Country come here to look for jobs.

"Actually, we are not considered smugglers. Some of the girls who came here worked in nightclubs in the black market, and many of them went to Harbin."

"Our guests here all like the people over there..."

"Afterwards, they will return to the Big Bear Country."

According to Chen Yajun's account, he usually smuggles young ladies from Big Bear Country.

It's not just him, there are many people doing this.

People like Yang Jun are Chinese themselves, but those who choose to smuggle themselves back usually have criminal records there.

There is no way to pass the security check, so in order to escape back to the country, they choose to sneak into the country.

"But we only help them come back from the Big Bear Country. We never transport people with criminal records here."

This Chen Yajun quite considers himself a nationalist...

You may feel that you have smuggled many young ladies from the Big Bear Country, and you feel like you are bringing glory to your country.

"Tell me how many people were smuggled back to the country, who entrusted you with it, and where they went after they came back."

"I don't know who arranged it over there. I only charge money. They are all Chinese, so 5,000 yuan per person."

"As for when they got here, someone was responsible for sending them to an animal breeding farm in Xishan. I don't know the rest."

Animal farm?

"What's your name and where is your specific location?"

"I don't know what the specific name of that breeding farm is. It's all delivered by the dock security guards."

"But when we were drinking, we heard the security guard mention it."

"The farm is not big. They raise wild animals, but not in large numbers."

"It doesn't seem like we're selling anything for takeout."

"It was done by a great dancer."

"The specific location is in the Butterfly Valley in the West Mountain."

Dance master?

"What's his name?"

"I don't know the specific name...but I have a nickname, called the One-Legged Immortal!"

"The two security guards said that the man was very talkative and seemed to have some skills..."

One-legged immortal? !

As soon as he heard this nickname, the strange footprints that appeared on the edge of the black mud and blood pool suddenly flashed in Chen Yan's mind.

Breeding animals, the one-legged fairy!

Thinking of the clues he had discovered, Chen Yan glanced at Wang Min subconsciously.

Wang Min obviously also realized the importance of the situation explained by Chen Yajun.

"This one-legged immortal... is most likely the murderer!"

"Go to Butterfly Valley in the West Mountain immediately and arrest this... one-legged immortal!"

Thanks to Mr. Dragon, Pan, Tiger and Crouching Unicorn for the million reward!
