Chapter 505 The Last Face

Author: Great Master of the East

At 9:30 in the morning, Xu Zheng and the others had just finished breakfast when they received a new notification.

The five of them need to lead separate teams to arrest seven or eight middle- and high-level leaders within the Gaotian Group. These people were not investigated by the provincial task force, but called the municipal bureau early in the morning to surrender.

The key is that they called the municipal bureau instead of the provincial task force. Isn't this disgusting?

Xu Zheng and the others worked all morning before interrogating these people and handing them over to the provincial task force.

In addition to the surrender of a group of senior executives of Gaotian Group, many illegal charges were pinned on the "dead" Du Longtao.

It was said that he was pulling some strings within the group and engaging in illegal activities, such as illegal loan sharking in the name of the group. For example, the three previous criminal cases involving Chen Zhen were now all pinned on Du Longtao.

As expected, Yan Hongqiang and Tang Zhiping, the chairman of Gaotian Group, have arranged their brothers' posthumous affairs very securely. It's no wonder that Du Longtao confessed very actively about Gaotian Group's illegal activities early this morning.

A pair of brothers who have been together for decades are more active in hurting each other than enemies.

However, these matters will be the responsibility of the provincial task force in the future. Unfortunately, the Second Brigade has become a labor force during this period. I wonder if the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Bureau will give more credit to the Second Brigade when calculating the credit for the provincial project.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, all members of the second brigade, including Li Wanwan, had to come with them this time because the police search team had determined where Ping Mengmeng's body was hidden.

It's a bit unbelievable to say that after Liang Jun was arrested by the action team, Zhang Yuqi interrogated him all night. Unexpectedly, this person was Xu Shu who entered Cao Ying without saying a word.

Even if Zhang Yuqi told him that Du Longtao had been killed, he was unwilling to explain the matter of Ping Mengmeng's body.

In the end, even if he was given the opportunity to reduce his sentence, he did not cherish it and insisted on shaking his head to express that he did not know.

This made Zhang Yuqi very angry for a time. Facing this kind of foolish loyalty is really annoying and hateful. Who would have thought that this Liang Jun is so stupid and naive. How can I put it, there are still such loyal people in today's society?

It's extremely rare.

However, even if he does not confess, it will not stop the police from conducting careful investigations in all aspects.

Wan Haihong made a call, and the police dog detachment of the city bureau and the squadron leader Zhou Xiong brought several tracking dogs. Not to mention, the professional ones were different. In the morning when Xu was showing off with the special police detachment, a police dog came to Liang Jun's township.

Clues were found in the backyard of the villa.

Liang Jun's rural villa has a small courtyard of 200 square meters in the front and rear. There is a square swimming pool in the front yard. There are all kinds of green plants in the backyard. Of course, there are also many flowers, especially roses, which are planted around the courtyard wall.

One circle.

The weather in Changming in September was still hot. The tracking dog walked through the flowers in the backyard and soon barked loudly at a blooming osmanthus tree. When Zhou Xiong rushed over, he was stunned because the flowering tree had already bloomed.

After growing for five or six years, the flowers are in full bloom and the yard is filled with fragrance.

But why did the police dog react to this tree alone?

Soon a team of on-site surveyors arrived and circled the sweet-scented osmanthus tree several times with a metal detector. There was no response from the instrument. Then they used the old method of inserting thin iron rods into the ground. Unfortunately, there were no traces of metal detectors around the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

There is no such thing as an underground intersection.

Zhou Yixiong originally thought that the police dog made a mistake, but it turned out that the same thing happened again. The entire backyard was pierced with thin iron rods. Even the current surveyor was going to go back and get a large detector to see if there was a basement underground in the backyard.

Finally, an old surveyor found the entrance. Unexpectedly, the so-called basement entrance was not around the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, but under a mulberry tree next to it.

The police dog was barking because there were several small hard plastic tubes at the roots of the osmanthus tree that were difficult to detect. These should be the exhaust holes in the basement.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Xiankan groped for a while, and found a hemp rope at the root of this very vigorous guri incense plant that was more than one meter tall. When he pulled up the rope, the entire guri incense plant fell completely.

It came down, revealing a hole with a diameter of 60 mm below.

As soon as the hole was opened, a pungent smell of formalin came out, and Zhang Yuqi was beside her. At this moment, she finally let go of her worries.

No wonder the basement is filled with flowers and trees, especially osmanthus trees and mulberry trees, which have a long flowering period and fill the garden with fragrance. This can mask the smell of formalin, and the storage in the basement is also under the mulberry tree.

It's hard to find.

No wonder the action brigade investigators couldn't find this place before. It turned out to be like this.

By the time Xu Zheng and the others arrived, Ping Mengmeng's body had been taken out and put in a body bag by forensic doctor Lu and Wang Dong, ready to be transported back to the city bureau for further examination and DNA testing.

Xu Zheng couldn't help but be curious. He followed the corpse truck and opened the body bag to take a look at the body. When he came out, he had a strange expression on his face, and his eyes were even filled with anger.

Peng Yue asked curiously: "What's going on? Could it be that the body was dismembered? But it doesn't look like it."

Zhuang Qiang also came up and said, "Looking at you like this, you are not just being made into a body teacher, right?"

Xu Zheng shook his head and pointed at the large black plastic bags next to him. There were quite a few bags, twenty or thirty in total. Peng Yue was quick to open a black plastic bag and found that it was filled with things similar to body-shaping clothes. "This is not

That kind of simulated skin? It feels pretty good."

As a result, when he took it all out, he discovered that it was a set of full-body simulation skin that looked like a woman. The limbs, hands, and feet were separated separately. However, these simulation skins were all in tatters. Especially when he took out a 3D simulation headgear,

It looked as if it had been scratched by a knife, and the whole face was like a strip of cloth, exuding the pungent smell of formalin.

No matter how stupid Peng Yue is, he also saw it at this time. This should be the simulated skin that Du Longtao put on Ping Mengmeng's body, and the 3D printed hood was 100% exactly like Ping Mengmeng's body, but it was damaged and he couldn't see it just now.

Just come out.

Looking at the more than twenty bags of clothes left at the bottom of her feet, after so many years, there may be more, and then thinking about Ping Mengmeng who provoked whom, was kidnapped to a strange place for no reason, and passively participated in a game or

A few perverted games.

It's just that she resisted a little fiercely, and was beaten to death, and her body was kept by Du Longtao for a long time.

Peng Yue finally understood Xu Zheng's expression when he got off the corpse truck. What happened to Ping Mengmeng was a completely innocent disaster, but he suffered such a big crime. Of course, the bodies of the other four victims of Wu Mei's disappearance were thrown into the Yangtze River.

They, and their families, are all equally sad.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Second Brigade made a study and judgment, and Team Wan and Chief Yang were involved.

First of all, Wan Haihong took Ping Mengmeng's DNA test report with a look of satisfaction on his face. The last link in the evidence chain of Wu Mei's disappearance case was finally sealed. This time, no one involved in the case could escape.

The case was solved, and there was finally one less old case in the archives of the municipal bureau. The leaders of the municipal bureau all contributed, and the second brigade must at least have a collective third-class merit. If the contributions of the provincial task force were added,

It is also possible to achieve second-class collective merit.

Although Xu Zheng performed well in this case, he was not as good as those in previous cases. This time it took collective effort to solve the case. It is estimated that the first credit will be given to Zhang Yuqi this time. She is the captain, and she deserves this.

Third-class personal merit.

For Mr. Yang, he finally no longer has to receive the families of these victims.

Although it was said that this case was solved ten years later, it was the continuous trial and error of generations of investigators that gave the Second Brigade so much experience.

Therefore, all investigators and investigators who participated in the Wu Mei disappearance case have a share of credit for the detection of this case.

Wait until tonight to arrest Xue Jiaping, who has returned from Australia. After the interrogation, Chief Yang plans to inform the families of the victims one by one of the good news. As for the remains of women such as Fang Xinhua and Su Xuejing, they have to wait until Du Longtao completes the comprehensive interrogation before he can identify them.

The place where the body was dumped was to see if the body could be recovered from the Yangtze River.

Wan Haihong looked at Ping Mengmeng's photo on the file, sighed deeply, and turned to Xu Zheng and asked, "If a body like Ping Mengmeng doesn't use a 3D printed hood and just relies on artificial skin,

Can you do cadaver plastic surgery?”

"Of course." Xu Zheng said affirmatively: "It's just that our city bureau doesn't have that many simulated skins. This thing is relatively expensive. If you want to buy it, you can contact the funeral home."

In fact, there were a lot of useless simulated skin suits and Ping Mengmeng's 3D printed headgear in Du Longtao's basement, but Team Wan didn't mention it, and Xu Zheng naturally wouldn't say either. After all, Ping Mengmeng's body was to be viewed by relatives after plastic surgery.

Then cremated.

They definitely don't want Ping Mengmeng to go to the crematorium with the murderer's belongings.

Chief Yang was familiar with the families of these victims. He suggested: "Should we talk to Ms. Heping first about the plastic surgery of the body? Ping Mengmeng's son and daughter are also in their teens this year. Let's see what their opinions are."

Wan Haihong thought the same thing, "Then Xu Zheng, you and Forensic Doctor Lu from the Forensic Medicine Department are handling this matter. You should have Ms. Ping's contact information. You should inform her first. As for Ping Mengmeng's ex-husband and children, you can ask

Let’s talk about Ms. Ping’s opinion.

Also, please don’t notify the other four victims’ families until we find out where the bodies were dumped.”

The Yangtze River does not flow very fast in the Changming Basin, but the key is that their bodies have been submerged in the river for ten years. It is hard to say whether they can be found.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ms. Ping walked into the Changming Municipal Bureau alone, and Xu Zheng and Li Wanwan came to receive her. They both said that hemp ropes are specially cut at the thinnest points, and Ms. Ping did the same for the rest of her life.

She was divorced in her thirties, and took away a daughter, Ping Mengmeng. As a result, Ping Mengmeng suffered another misfortune within a few years of her marriage. In the past ten years, if it weren't for the pair of children her daughter left behind, she would really not be able to survive.

Know how to live.

Before Xu Zheng finished speaking, the gray-haired Ms. Ping was already crying so hard that she couldn't help herself. However, after all, she was a cultivated and decent person, and no matter how sad she was, she never forgot to express her gratitude to Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng is clumsy and not good at explaining to this old lady. Unfortunately, Li Wanwan is about the same and can only say, "Aunt Ping, please bear with me and take care of yourself."

When Xu Zheng confessed to her the condition of Ping Mengmeng's body, and of course he didn't say that she was often abused after her death, Aunt Ping covered her face and shook her head, with tears flowing from between her fingers, and said intermittently: "Xiao Xu

, Auntie dare not see her, my aunt agrees that you can perform plastic surgery on my daughter’s body.”

Seeing her covering her face tightly with her hands, as if she was about to tear off her face to give to her daughter, Xu Zheng didn't know how to comfort her.

There was originally a signing session, but when Xu Zheng saw that she was so sad that she couldn't sit still, he could only let out a long sigh. This is the sadness of a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.

In the anatomy room, Xu Zheng finally saw the body of Ping Mengmeng, who had turned into an anatomy teacher. He didn't know how to feel, but the suppressed cry of Aunt Ping just now always lingered in his ears, and the scene of tears rolling down kept coming.

flashed in his mind.

"What's wrong, Xiao Zheng? Did Ms. Ping agree to your request?" Forensic doctor Lu asked curiously when Xu Zheng came in and looked at the body blankly, and the document in his hand was not signed.

When Xu Zheng saw Forensic Doctor Lu snatching the document from his hand, he felt a little embarrassed and said: "I... Hi, I just saw Aunt Ping was too uncomfortable and I was embarrassed to ask her to sign, but she verbally agreed."

But Forensic Doctor Lu shook his head firmly, "That's not okay, Xiaozheng, we are criminal police and we must follow procedures when doing things. Don't look at it as a trivial matter. What if this Ms. Ping is instigated by someone later? What if something similar happens again in the future?

If the incident, or the consequences are more serious, you will be charged with mutilating a corpse, what should you do?"
