"I think so too," Captain Dou said. "I've seen all the murder scenes before, and I feel that the murderer must have committed the crime overnight. After all, he killed so many people in one night, so he must have used some extraordinary means!"
Hearing this, Wu Xiumin couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and whisper something in Zeng Ke's ear. Zeng Ke nodded and shook his head.
Although Zhao Yu didn't hear what she was saying, he could guess that Wu Xiumin must have had the same question as him. Since the murderer wanted to kill these people, why didn't he just poison them? Wouldn't that have saved him the trouble of killing them one by one?
"To be honest!" Captain Dou said disappointedly. "I have worked for so many years, but I have never seen such a tragic crime scene, and it was so weird!"
"Weird?" Zhao Yu didn't understand what Captain Dou meant.
"Come on, officers, I'll take you to the crime scene." Captain Dou pointed to the depths of the dock and said, "This case is really … Um … It's so puzzling! Um … "
As he spoke, Captain Dou's whole body trembled, and he scratched his ears and cheeks, which made him look very unnatural. He was still holding the pack of cigarettes in his hand.
"Okay, smoke!" Zhao Yu knew that Captain Dou was addicted to smoking. He must be a heavy smoker, so he couldn't stop smoking for a while.
"Oh, thank you, thank you … I'm sorry … I'm sorry …" Captain Dou lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Zhao Yu noticed that the cigarettes that the captain of the criminal police was smoking were red plums, which cost only three or four yuan per pack. From this, it could be seen that the salary in Quliang was really poor!
No wonder the higher-ups sent the special investigation group to preside over the investigation!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu didn't argue with Captain Dou anymore. He immediately took Wu Xiumin and Zeng Ke to the depths of the dock.
After receiving the report, the first people to arrive at the scene were several policemen from the coastal police station. As soon as they drove the boat to the dock, they saw the two survivors, who were already scared out of their wits! At that time, the two of them were so scared that they curled up into a ball. They kept repeating the words, "They're dead!" "They're dead …"
"Then, the police officers saw the first corpse …"
After a few steps, Captain Dou stopped, pointed to a place with a white line, and said, "This is where they found the first body! This person … was burned to death, and he died a horrible death! Your forensic colleagues have already taken the body away for examination!
"Even though he was badly burned, the two survivors could still recognize that the person who was burned to death was one of their crew members. He was in charge of costumes, props, and transportation."
Burned to death?
Zhao Yu gestured to Zeng Ke. Zeng Ke quickly turned on his phone's flashlight and shone it at the crime scene. But on the ground, there were still some traces of fire.
"Wow …" Zeng Ke said in surprise, "Team Leader, look at the traces of the fire. They are so long, which means that the deceased struggled when he was burned."
"Yes!" Zhao Yu looked at the white thread and said, "When you're on fire, the first thing you think of is to find water! This person must have wanted to run to the beach and jump into the water, but because the fire was too big, he was burned to death before he could reach the beach! "
"Oh … That is to say …" Captain Dou nodded, then said, "This person was burned somewhere else, then ran here by himself? But, if he was drugged with sleeping pills, this person shouldn't have been able to run away, right? "
Zhao Yu and the other two did not speak, as they were all deep in thought.
"Um …" Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Captain Dou had to say something self-deprecating. "Officers, this is just the beginning. Come with me! There's more to come … "
As he spoke, he motioned for everyone to follow him again.
Yongjin Island was an uninhabited island, so its dock area was not large. Moreover, it had been built a long time ago by people who had used the natural terrain to build it. Today, it was already in ruins and was very bumpy.
Unexpectedly, after just a few steps, Zhao Yu felt a little hot. It turned out that although it was winter, Yongjin Island was located near the South China Sea, so it was not cold on the island.
Zhao Yu had come from the north, so his cotton clothes were naturally too heavy. After a few steps, he was sweating profusely.
As they walked along the wet and bumpy dock to the island, they saw more police officers at first glance. As far as the eye could see, the most obvious ones were the several tents dozens of meters away on the right.
Needless to say, those tents must be the temporary base set up by the filming crew. They would be shooting on the island for more than half a month, so naturally, they could not sleep on the deserted island.
Captain Dou took Zhao Yu and the others to the crew's tent as he smoked his cigarette fiercely.
"The second victim's throat was cut by the murderer!" Captain Dou pointed to one of the tents and said, "When the police arrived at the tent, they saw blood at the door of the tent. When they went in, they saw the body!"
As he spoke, they came to the door of the tent. Because there were still eye-catching bloodstains on the ground, Zhao Yu and the others did not enter the tent, but just shone a flashlight at the door.
"The deceased has been identified!" Captain Dou said. "It's … It's an actor from the crew. His name is … Um … Um …"
He scratched his head, but he couldn't remember. He hurriedly shouted to the staff next to him, wanting to ask for help.
"Is it Xie Hao?" Zeng Ke suddenly asked.
"Yes, yes …" Captain Dou nodded repeatedly and looked at Zeng Ke with surprise in his eyes. "You're really the leader group. You even know this?"
Zeng Ke looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Xie Hao should be the most famous person in this crew. He has played small roles in many mainstream TV series! This time, the investment and sponsorship of the crew were basically all brought in by him! "
Zhao Yu tilted his head again and carefully looked at the crime scene in the tent. He saw that it was mottled with blood, which made it look very tragic.
However, Zhao Yu also noticed that the suitcases, camp stools, sleeping bags, and other items in the tent were all stained with blood, as well as signs of being overturned.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu quickly asked, "Captain Dou, no one has touched the crime scene, right?"
"No … No … Please don't make fun of me," Captain Dou said nervously. "Although we don't have many murders here, we still understand the basic principles! No one has touched the crime scene, and when the two policemen saw the dead man in the tent, they were all frightened! "
"They didn't have guns, and they were afraid that the murderer was still hiding on the island. So, they didn't go inside to look for him. Instead, they went back to the dock to wait for support!" After saying this, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly added, "Please don't take it to heart. Quliang is a small place, so there are very few murders! Anyone who sees such a situation would be scared!
