Chapter 57: Rotten Meat in the Cesspool

~9 min read 1,624 words

After Gao Jianjun inquired about some situations, he felt that the possibility of a prank by an acquaintance was not high, so he decided to report to the branch immediately. If it was confirmed to be a kidnapping case, this was a major criminal case. How to handle this case required instructions from the branch...

In the blink of an eye, it was noon. The Criminal Police Brigade of the branch specially arranged for technical investigation personnel to quietly enter Wu Yuxian's house with equipment. There were still a few hours before the kidnappers required the ransom to be raised. Xiao Wu, who contacted the telecommunications department, also confirmed that the call was made from a public telephone booth on Renmin Road in Jiangdong District.

In this way, the possibility of knowing the appearance of the caller through the phone was very small. The criminal police team members only had to guard Wu Yuxian's house, waiting for the kidnappers to call again.

It was truly a troubled winter!

And the members of the special case team who were searching for other body parts along the sewage pipeline, with the cooperation of the municipal department, listed several places where the body might have been thrown according to the pipe network layout structure, and focused on investigating them.

————

In the family courtyard of the Jiangnan Chemical Plant in Jiangnan District, Xu Zhibing, a worker at the chemical plant who was cooking lunch at home, suddenly found that the kitchen sink in his house was overflowing from the bottom. He lived on the first floor, and a sewer blockage had the greatest impact on his house!

He ran out cursing. The sewer manhole cover was behind his kitchen. He had cleared the sewer several times himself when it was blocked before. This time, he skillfully hooked up the cement manhole cover with an iron hook, and a foul stench of rotting meat rushed into his nostrils! He was almost vomited by this stench! Cursing in his heart why it was so smelly this time? At this moment, he saw a large mass of rotten meat floating at the mouth of the cesspool!

He used an iron ladle to fish out the rotten meat and prepared to throw it into the trash can. At this moment, he was so frightened by the scene before him that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground!

In the iron ladle in his hand, a piece of egg-sized rotten meat that smelled foul had a black thing on it like a black mole on a human body, and there were a few sweat hairs on it. It was clearly a piece of meat belonging to a human body!

Xu Zhibing, who fell to the ground, came back to his senses, climbed up, and ran to the gate of the courtyard. There was a public telephone at the guard room!

The police officer who received the report call was shocked when he heard that human tissue was found in the sewer again. He didn't dare to delay for a second and hurriedly reported to the special case team. The members of the special case team, who were struggling to find body parts, felt a shock in their hearts, both happy and worried! Happy that there was a new discovery, worried that there would be another dismemberment case!

Soon, You Xinfa, who was not far from the Jiangnan Chemical Plant, led a team to the scene.

Even an old criminal police officer like him was nauseated by the rotten meat fished out, and his stomach was churning! Fortunately, he hadn't eaten lunch yet, otherwise he was sure he would have vomited on the spot!

Forensic doctor Ye Hui frowned, clearly also seeing such a "fragmented" corpse for the first time!

The rotten meat in front of them was irregular in shape. The large amount of bubbles produced by decay caused the body parts to expand and block the sewer mouth. A total of more than 300 pieces of meat were fished out. In addition to the meat piece with a black mole, the members of the special case team also fished out some human fragmented liver and part of the stomach tissue. According to the skin elasticity of the meat pieces and the development of some hair found, it was quite consistent with the body parts found at the 1.16 scene, all belonging to an adult male!

According to the degree of decay, it was preliminarily judged that it had been about 15 days after being thrown into the cesspool, which was consistent with the time the 1.16 body parts were thrown! The two dismembered bodies were very likely to belong to the same person!

You Xinfa immediately reported the situation to the special case team and immediately organized and arranged to investigate the residents of the building! It was clear that these body parts flowed into the cesspool through the sewer! Then the person who threw the body was very likely in this building!

Soon, with the assistance of the Jiangnan Chemical Plant Security Section and the Residents' Committee, the special case team circled two suspects!

Tao Xiaoyong, a laid-off worker living on the top floor of the 5th floor of this building who had a gambling habit, and Lin Jiaming, a resident on the 3rd floor who had a criminal record.

Lin Jiaming on the 3rd floor happened to be at home today, while Tao Xiaoyong's house on the 5th floor was locked!

After investigating Lin Jiaming, it was found that Lin Jiaming's mood was stable, and he had been working in a nearby electronics factory since he was released from prison. Because it was three shifts, he had been eating and living in the factory. This house in the Jiangnan Chemical Plant was lived in by his parents, and he basically had no time or opportunity to commit the crime.

Ruling out Lin Jiaming, the remaining Tao Xiaoyong had great suspicion. According to the introduction of the Residents' Committee and the Factory Security Section, this Tao Xiaoyong was in his early 30s, but he had never been married, and it seemed he didn't even have a formal girlfriend. After his parents retired and returned to their hometown in the Qinghe County countryside, this house in the chemical plant was left for him to live alone.

After being laid off from the Jiangnan Chemical Plant two years ago, he didn't know how he became addicted to gambling. He didn't have much family background, and he lost everything not long after. Later, it was said that he found a job at a night venue in Jiangdong District. It was estimated that it was not a glorious thing. He usually lived in the day and went out at night, and basically didn't deal with the surrounding neighbors.

After listening, You Xinfa asked: "Do you know where he specifically works in Jiangdong District?"

The director of the Residents' Committee was a middle-aged woman in her late 40s. A look of disdain appeared on her face and she said: "Oh! Who knows this! Just heard it's some night venue. I don't know what a night venue is for. Later I found out that it is a place specially for entertaining some men with 'flowery intestines' (lecherous), that is, accompanying dancing, accompanying singing, and accompanying that kind of thing! You can just ask, where else in the whole Jiangdong District can have a night venue?"

When she spoke, her eyes turned to You Xinfa and the Security Section Chief from time to time, as if those men with "flowery intestines" included them!

You Xinfa ignored her gaze and said: "Does this Tao Xiaoyong have no relatives or friends in Zizhen City?"

The director of the Residents' Committee said: "Friends? Who would be willing to deal with a gambler like him? Relatives really haven't seen any. Old Tao (Tao Xiaoyong's father) and his wife were both young workers recruited from the Qinghe countryside back then. Relatives are all in the countryside hometown. Really haven't seen any here!"

In order not to alert the enemy, You Xinfa specifically instructed the director of the Residents' Committee not to stare at Tao Xiaoyong's house, and to notify him immediately after seeing him return, and told her not to let the other party know that the police had looked for him!

Time passed quickly. When You Xinfa was investigating the body parts in the family courtyard of the chemical plant, in a street-front meat shop in Luojiaying near the industrial zone of Jiangdong District, about 20 meters from the storefront, there was a dark room without windows on all four sides (this kind of private house is often built to build more rooms, and will not consider lighting, building spacing, etc.). There were 5 large horizontal freezers in the room, one on the left and right of the door, and three facing the door. Behind the freezer, there was another room, which was even darker. Under the illumination of an incandescent lamp on the ceiling, a large wooden table two meters wide and three meters long was placed in the middle of the room. A metal faucet was installed at one end of the wooden table, and there was a circle of open trenches around the table, flowing to the outside through a hole in the wall.

There was a large iron cage in the corner of the wall. Visually, it was a square cage with a diameter of 1.5 meters.

And at this time, a fat man with his hands and feet tied behind his back and a black, greasy rag stuffed in his mouth was curled up in the cage like livestock! ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
