D F T F Chapter 27: New clues.

The place where the alleged vehicle remained for a long time was near the village of Gaoyang on the Constant Line.

There were about a few kilometers between the two surveillance monitors, and the alleged vehicle drove for forty minutes along this route must have stopped there, because when Han Bin and his two teammates drove the car along this trip between the two surveillance monitors, it only took six minutes down the aisle as well as back.

On the right side of the road, there was agricultural land and on the left side a forest. It is for this reason; Han Bin guessed that if the corpse were to be buried, it would be buried in the woods on the left side, so that it would be more difficult to find it.

The three drove another time along this route, flashing both lights at a very slow speed, just to observe if there were any anomalies in the woods to the side in search of where the van's being parked before because Han Bin asked them: "Pay attention to the terrain next to the road to see if there are any newly made tire marks."

Han Bin slowed down so that he could observe carefully.

Driving through the middle of the two monitors, a tire mark was found sideways and the three rushed out of the car to check.

"Are the brands of tires on this car the same as those found before, do they belong to the same van?" Li Hui muttered, touching his chin.

Han Bin observed carefully and said: "Looking at the angle of the tire mark, the car should also park in reverse, like in the situation of an abandoned pickup truck."

"Where are we going checking?" Zhao Ming suggested.

“Forty minutes, even if it is enough to kill and bury the body, I am also very doubtful. I think we can find clues at the burial site,” Han Bin said.

Li Hui took the shoe cover out of his pocket and put it on: "Yes, let's start."

Han Bin observed the surroundings slowly, and he did not find an obvious imprint, he decided to take the imprint of the tire as the starting center of the research, and the three looked in three directions, and Han Bin watched very carefully, for fear of missing details.

After searching for a while, Han Bin found no clue. From the side, Li Hui shouted: "Brother Bin, there is something here."

Han Bin hurriedly walked over. It was relatively hollow and soft mud. It was a trail mark next to the place Li Hui occupied.

"Could it be that after being killed, Sun Qifeng was dragged by his accomplices?" Guessed Li Hui.

Han Bin nodded, "It is possible that if Sun Qifeng is dragged backward, his associate's footprints will be covered by the slip marks."

Both continued to walk along the drag trail. After about ten meters, the drag track disappeared. There were a lot of shoe prints around. These footprints are scattered, not straight.

Han Bin found two clearer footprints, observed them, and said happily: "Yes, these are Sun Qifeng's associate's footprints."

“Brother Bin, look at this earth, it seems to be a new layer of soil,” Li Hui said.

The range of the new layer of soil is sixty to seventy centimeters wide and over one and a half meters long.

“Zhao Ming,” Han Bin shouted.

"Brother Bin, what did you find there?" Zhao Ming shouted.

"Go to the car and take a shovel."

"Okay." Zhao Ming replied, running to the car, and then came back bringing two shovels.

Li Hui took one and prepared to dig with Zhao Ming. Han Bin reached out and asked for Li Hui's shovel, and said: "Take a break, and I'll dig."

Li Hui didn't insist either; he searched the mountain all morning and was indeed very tired.

The ground was relatively soft, and it is easy to dig. After digging about eight inches, Han Bin felt that the shovel could no longer be inserted and that it was not as hard to be a rock. When the dirt was dealt with, a human hand in the hole was revealed.

“It really is a corpse,” Zhao Ming said in surprise.

After dealing with the mud again, a pale face was revealed, it was a man.

"Sun Qifeng!" Li Hui said.

“This is him, the same as the picture,” Zhao Ming said.

“Brother Bin, report to Captain Zhang,” Li Hui suggested.

Han Bin nodded, took out his cell phone, and called Zhang Ping.

When Sun Qifeng died, the clues were shattered and it was foolish to keep looking in the forest.

......

"Wuwu..."

Twenty minutes later, Zheng Kaixuan and Zhang Ping drove a police car to the burial site. The two looked a little ugly after seeing the corpse.

Originally, all clues were directed to Sun Qifeng, because only by finding him alive could the police clearly understand the case. Now that he's dead, the case is deadlocked.

"Detective Bin, good job." Zheng Kaixuan reached out and patted Han Bin on the shoulder because when he found the body, he had saved the police a lot of time and resources.

Members of the forensic and technical team also arrived and the body was excavated from the grave.

Medical examiner Wu Xia examined the body and said: "The approximate time of death of the deceased should be between 12 p.m., and 3 a.m. last night."

"And how did he die?"

“Sun Qifeng was strangled in the same way as Xing Jianbin,” Wu Xia said.

"Are there any other findings?" Han Bin said.

“There are scales between the nails of the deceased, which may have been left during the struggle,” Wu Xia said.

"In other words, could the dander belong to the suspect?" Zheng Kaixuan said.

“It's absolutely safe, I can check it,” Wu Xia said.

"Can DNA prove it?" Zhang Ping said.

“I was doing my best,” Wu Xia said.

......

Back at the office, it was already past five in the afternoon.

Inside the office of the second group branch office of the Qingdao Third Criminal Investigation Team, the crowd sat together, even Zheng Kaixuan was a member of this team, all with panda eyes.

From the time of the incident until today, none of those present have fallen asleep.

Zheng Kaixuan glanced at people and said: "Everyone understands the current situation. Sun Qifeng is dead. We need adjusting the direction of the investigation."

"When forensic scientist Wu identifies the suspect from his DNA by analyzing the dander taken from the nails, the case will be easier to deal with," Tian Li said.

“Don't put all your hopes on the DNA result. If the suspect didn't have a criminal record before, even if the DNA is found, it won't match anyone,” Zheng Kaixuan said.

“What Captain Zheng said is the people around Sun Qifeng should be rechecked,” Zhang Ping said.

"Zhao Ming, you go to the communications company, check Sun Qifeng's cell phone number, and see who he spoke to more frequently before he was killed," Zheng Kaixuan ordered.

"Tian Li, you are in charge of investigating MLM personnel, to see who is closest to Sun Qifeng, who is the prime crime suspect."

"Li Hui, you are responsible for investigating family and friends around Sun Qifeng."

"Han Bin, Sun Qifeng's parents have just arrived at the office. You can welcome them."

“Yes, captain,” everyone promised.

After organizing the task, Zheng Kaixuan yawned and said: "Are there any other clues to add?"

“Captain Zheng, in my estimation, the suspect should be male, with a height of around 180, an age of 35 and a relatively strong body,” Han Bin said.

Zheng Kaixuan was a little surprised, "How did you experience such a detailed situation?"

“I didn't mention to you that this kid is proficient in identifying footprints,” Zhang Ping said.

Zheng Kaixuan nodded, as if he still had a little doubt, and said: "So as a further clue, you can refer to it when investigating."

Zhao Ming yawned, glanced at his watch, and said: "Captain Zheng, the communications company is on leave now."

Zheng Kaixuan smiled: "So, I will organize the tasks in another way. All members of the second group will fall back to sleep well after leaving work."

“Yes, captain,” everyone said happily.

After more than 30 hours of continuous work, it's too much to be an iron man.
