The journey was beyond Zhao Yu's and the others' expectations. As soon as they got off the plane from the capital of Tongjiang Province, a colleague from the provincial police station drove them directly to the fishing boat dock in Quliang.
However, the island was 27 kilometers away from land. Even though the local police had used the best speedboat, it still took them more than an hour to get to the scene of the crime.
By the time Zhao Yu and the other two arrived at Yongjin Island, it was completely dark. Zhao Yu could see the outline of Yongjin Island under the surging waves of the night.
However, although it was a small island in the sea, the area of the island was much larger than he had imagined!
According to the information, the entire area of Yongjin Island was nearly 10 hectares, which was equivalent to the size of 15 regular football fields! Moreover, Yongjin Island was not as bare as other islands. The island was lush with vegetation, and there were even several forests.
The island's terrain was also relatively complex, with hills, basins, reefs, cliffs, and so on.
Alas!
Seeing Yongjin Island in front of him, Zhao Yu couldn't help but think of the Landing incident that he had just experienced in New Zealand. I really don't know what's wrong with me. Why do I always have a problem with islands?
Due to the sudden occurrence of such a shocking murder case, the local police station and the Tongjiang Provincial Office naturally attached great importance to it. They had already sent most of the police force to the scene to deal with it.
At this moment, uniformed police officers were everywhere on and off the island. High lights were erected on the island, making it as bright as day.
In addition, the higher-ups had specially dispatched the Coast Guard to assist them. Ships with Coast Guard logos could be seen everywhere on the sea around the island.
After receiving the news, several leaders of the provincial office, the Quliang police chief, and the criminal investigation captain, who was mainly responsible for the case, all rushed to greet them.
After the two sides met on the dock and exchanged a few words, they went straight to the main topic. The captain began to report the latest situation to Zhao Yu and the others.
The captain's name was Captain Dou, and he was a burly man in his thirties. However, although this person's appearance was not bad, he was slovenly and looked like a sloppy uncle.
Compared with Jinping's Li Luoyun and Bai Ling's Captain Sun, the criminal police captain of Quliang was a world of difference. His hair was messy, his beard was unkempt, and his clothes were dirty. If it weren't for the leaders' introduction, this criminal investigation captain would have looked more like a homeless man on the streets.
As he spoke, Captain Dou stooped his body and looked extremely cautious. Perhaps it was because he had never seen a big leader before, or maybe he was nervous.
"Officers, we have just verified the information. There are a total of 10 people in the crew on Yongjin Island!" Captain Dou spoke with a strong local accent, but Zhao Yu and the others could still hear him clearly. "So far, we've found a total of six dead people, one seriously injured, one missing, and only two alive. We've detained them on the police boat and are currently interrogating them!"
After hearing Captain Dou's words, Zhao Yu and the others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The three of them looked at each other, and their eyes revealed an unconcealable worry.
Ten people!
What a coincidence!
There were also 10 victims in "And Then There Were None".
This … Is this just a coincidence?
"We checked," Captain Dou continued. "Although the woman who survived had a noose around her neck and her hands were still tied behind her back, she was still alive. However, the murderer purposely wrapped the rope that tied her hands around her armpits and tied it to the end of the rope. This way, even if the ladder flipped over, the woman wouldn't really be hanged to death! "
Oh?
Zhao Yu was slightly stunned. How could this be? Did the murderer not want to kill the actress? Then, why did he do this?
"And the producer, who was responsible for making the fire and cooking," Captain Dou said. "Although he was buried alive, he …"
Just then, Zhao Yu's phone suddenly rang. After he answered the call, he immediately heard a familiar voice.
"Leader Zhao, have you arrived yet? This is Gao Facai! "
"Hey? Gao? "Zhao Yu didn't expect that it would be him on the phone, so he hurriedly replied," We just arrived! What about you? "
"I arrived in the morning!" Gao Facai said on the phone. "Let me tell you something. The forensics department of the Quliang Police Station is too shabby to meet the standards I need! I'm going to transfer all the bodies and evidence to Chaohai! I've been there for a while before, and it's the closest and most suitable place for the examination! "
There was no tone in Gao Facai's words. They were both approachable and irrefutable.
Of course, Zhao Yu had no reason to refute him, so he immediately nodded and said, "I'll listen to you! We're already on the island. If there's anything, let me know as soon as possible! "
Gao Facai responded and simply hung up the phone.
Zhao Yu liked to deal with such straightforward people. Since the last Headless Female Corpses Case, he had a particularly good impression of Gao. This time, since the higher-ups had sent him here, it showed how much importance they attached to this case!
After hanging up the phone, before Captain Dou could speak, Zhao Yu suddenly realized something and asked, "Hey? How can there be a mobile phone signal on this island? "
"Yes, there is!" Captain Dou hurriedly pointed to the sea on his right and said, "There is an oil rig 10 kilometers away, with a base station on it! Not only can you make a phone call, but you can also surf the Internet! "
"Hey? That's … "Zhao Yu frowned and said," That's not right! The murderer killed so many people. Didn't anyone call for help? "
"Um …" Captain Dou quickly said, "Sir, let me tell you the whole story! At a quarter past six in the morning, our operator received a call from a person who claimed that there had been a murder on Yongjin Island! We have verified that the person who called the police was the actress who survived! "
"Wait!" Wu Xiumin hurriedly asked, "The woman's hands were tied, and there was a rope around her neck. She was standing on a folding stool. How could she call the police?"
"No … I … I didn't tell you the details just now, did I?" Captain Dou stammered, then pointed to Zhao Yu and said with a smile, "By the way, you just answered the phone. I was just talking about this. Ha ha …" He smiled awkwardly, then hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Yu. "The producer was the one who was buried alive …"
Seeing that Zhao Yu and the others did not smoke, Captain Dou held the cigarette in his hand and continued, "Um … The man who was buried alive, although his hands were also tied, he was not buried too deep. He said that he crawled out of the pit from the inside, then crawled out of it! Then, it was the actress that he had saved who had called the police!
"Um … And he also told us that the actress couldn't be hanged to death!"
"By the way!" Captain Dou suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "When we rushed over, the two survivors said that they didn't know how they were hanged and buried alive. They just woke up and found themselves like that!"
